aircraft bite fools dont they, and there seem to be plenty on here.
the worst mistake an instructor can ever make is to describe the stall/spin characteristics of an a/c as being they same as when they taught the exercise. eg pre-meditated.
who says the tomahawk dosnt spin like the c150/2. try going in off a full power entry. or an out of limits aft c of g and see how it spins.
the cherokee 140/180 is often described by instructors as having a non event in a stall or spin. i have even heard one instructor say it dosnt stall and he had a prof licence.
c of g which is very rarely mentioned, certainly not here, is the major key to spin characteristics and which contols are effective. i am amazed just how many of you have seemed to have carried out all these experiments while you are spinning to find out control effectivness.
i saw someone burn to death in front of me once in a pitt special. if he had of lived he would have told you that a pitt special with a second passenger and full tanks has quite different spinning charachteristics that one with half tanks and no passenger!
beware of dead experts
