Agreed! Training, proficiency, and altitude are all prerequisites imho.
That said, the Europa design has great recovery attributes, so testing
=98should=99 be benign. I have never yet heard of a pirep of Europa r
ecovery issues over my 25years of following :-) . Even with the lon
g wings (!) per recent reports (?). But keep those pireps coming!
IMHO spins are a fun and benign maneuver in a capable design. Not so in my u
nrecoverable (blanked rudder) lil=99hummelbird - not the best aero des
ign but still more fun than a barrel full of monkeys :-)
With a significant aileron trim tab required on my classic, i am typically e
xpecting a right hand break. Centered ball power off stalls so far in my 200
hrs with it have been pretty normal requiring only moderate foot exercise. M
y new CYA100 AOA is performing great, although id like explore how the vane a
nd indication perform in full slips near the stall left and right. Thus my o
riginal question.
Having it recover from an inverted spin by letting everything go is a neat t
rick! and again supports the excellent design hypothesis.
Cheers,
