AFAIK spin training is prohibited in most, if not all,
open class ships...

probably why we use k13's and puch's then and if you
are going to examine spin characteristics of big floppy
wings, you do it for spin entry and not any further.
but then again, you shouldnt be flying at a speed where
you are going to end up in a spin in the first place,
let alone suddenly realising that you've let your speed
build up to Vne! which is the whole point of spin training........



and presuming you have not blacked out by then also,
i start to grey out at about 7g from more than 5 secs
exposure at that level.

you would probably have blacked out about 9g

Yes, except grey out or black out happens only after
a few seconds (the
time needed for the blood to fall into your lower boby).


er.. didnt i say that? 5 secs....

And it is very
dependant of the condition and trainig of the pilot.

and seating position, and how much height exposure
he's had during the days flying........... (oxy saturation)

but then a well trained pilot wouldnt have got himself
into the position of entering a spin, let alone contemplating
what to do because hes suddenly at all the airframe
limits!


But a glider wing breaks within milliseconds of overstressing
!

no they dont, they have to fail progressivly. no glider
would be alowed in the air by any regulating body if
a wing could break in a 1000th of a second. i dont
think you really understand the force that would be
needed to do that. the instantanious g-load to do that
would kill you out right.
