The most surprising aspect of the Puchacz discussion to date is the
number of accidents involving instructors. This led me to believe that
perhaps there was something amiss with the aircraft (which may be the
case).

Maybe there are instructors who, used to a gentle wing drop at the
stall in other gliders, forget that a spin might take up just a wee
bit more height ...

I've had BGA instructors ask me to do stupid or dangerous things (I
have never complied and never flown with the same instructor again)
but very seldom, and I don't think the preence of a few nutters can
fairly be blamed on the BGA.
