Blackadder, I would like to have a word with your instructor that began a significant maneuver with "suspiciously high clean stall" etc. and followed by "I have", youink, boot, bull spring, then "you have, recover".
The student learns little from that sequence. Far better to ask the student to take control, raise the nose, allow the wing drop and the full spin....then having PUT IT IN THE SPIN, AND MADE THE RECOVERY, the student will experience all the interesting physical affects of exactly what it feels like. The recovery is what follows after he has experienced ENTERING THE SPIN. Otherwise he has only had half the lesson.
