What I read elsewhere. However I did have the technique
wrong, it seems (after a bit of surfing). I thought you took
your feet off the pedals, and that's not so, just your hands off the
stick. (Before everybody rushes in and says "you terrible
incompetent inept pilot, glad I'm not sharing the airspace
with you, etc etc etc" - I do practice spin recoveries quite
often, but using the "full" technique).

I guess I should try my "modified" M-B technique sometime
in the incipient phase. After all M-B are talking about a fully
developed spin, i.e. after 3 turns, and in the original context
of this thread, if you haven't spotted that something is wrong
after three turns of a spin (and tried to do something about it)
then your piloting skills are probably not your greatest concern.

Trouble is while my head finds spins fascinating, my stomach
feels otherwise, so I never do more than a couple in a single
flight - generally as I'm leaving the practice area, which in turn
is generally because my stomach is already suggesting it's
time to go home.

Then what did you base your comment on?
(I have the original three articles.)
