Anyone else spin the Puch for more than three turns? What happened
(obviously you survived)? I've heard that some other aircraft also
have a flatter spin mode that after several turns that is hard to
recover from. Any knowledge of why this happens? (Now where's my
copy of Stick and Rudder?)

The Pitts S-1S is the one for this. Get it spinnong, then let the
controls train and open the throttle. It will go into a FAST flat
spin, picking the nose up to above the horizon. If you are not carfull
and precise in the recovery you can inadvertantly flick it into a spin
in the other direction, or into an outside spin. Not ever heard that
it is hard to recover from though.
