I had a real nasty checking out a QFI who had only spun C150's before.
Mishandled recovery attempt (with the elevator held fully back) , we entered the secondary spin mode which is highly unpleasant.
Started ar F060, recovered somewhere between 1200 and 1500 feet QNH !!
I always loved flying and spinning the Pa38 as an instructor, but that flight cured me of the desire to allow anybody else to spin it.
