That is not the issue Jean. I am talking about pulling the airbrakes before
the rotation of the glider has stopped. This not in the manual of course.
The idea is to avoid a high speed with the glider at a pitch angle of
something like 60° directly after it has stopped rotation.
Testing what happens when I do the whole thing with my new rather heavy low
drag Ventus-2cxT is an invitation to others to call me an "idiot". Probably
I will do that myself too.
For me it is more like an "if then" case. While instructing I have done tens
of spins with students with a ASK-13, but that's easy of course and does
hardly apply to what can happen to modern gliders.

Thanks

Why don't you check your glider's flight manual ?

Yesterday evening I talked with a friend about avoiding excessive speed
when
recovering from a spin in a modern low drag glider with the somewhat
larger
span.
He came up with the idea of pulling the airbrakes when still recovering
from
the rotating mode. I am not sure this can be done without disturbing the
recovering action or without hurting the glider.
Any comment will appreciated.
