I have had the privilege of doing "unusual attitude recovery" training when
I lived in San Jose, CA in a Citabria with Amelia Reid. After 10 or so
different spins I was getting cocky. So she told me that she would enter the
next
spin and for me to watch her recovery method. After three turns she fully
released all controls and the plane slowed out of the spin and simply remained
in
a shallow descent waiting for me to fly her home. So don't always think that
you are the one recovering the plane, it may be the plane recovering you.
So to those that have done spins in their Europas......what is it like? how
does it handle? any areas to stay away from?
The advice of keeping CG 1" closer to center from forward and rear when
fully loaded are the things that I look for.
