Spinning
Intentional spinning is prohibited.
Both the proof-of-concept (P.O.C..) aircraft G-YURO and the kit prototype G-ELSA
have been extensively spin tested, up to 12 turns, and found to have excellent
spin recovery with standard spin recovery techniques. Both aircraft were also
found to recover satisfactorily from fully developed spins by removing both
hands and feet from the controls depending on trim setting.
However, due to builder differences, individual kit aircraft may not exhibit the
same spin characteristics as our prototypes. The prototype aircraft have a
developed
spin rate (after 3 turns) of approximately 180 per second with a 60 nose
down attitude.
If a spin is inadvertently entered;
Close the throttle.
Retract flaps if deployed
Full rudder against direction of spin.
Slight pause.
Stick forward to neutral.
Centralise rudder as spin stops.
Recover from dive to a climbing attitude, applying power as the nose
passes above
the horizon.
