Started this thread (Avoiding Vne) some weeks ago with a kind invitation to
respond to the idea of pulling the airbrakes while still in the rotating
mode of a spin. The idea behind it is when rotation has been stopped with
the glider at a pitch angle of say 60° or more this will be at a lower speed
then when the airbrakes stay closed all the time. Possibly a build up of
speed to over Vne can then be avoided after that. Of course airbrakes should
be closed again in the following pull up manouvre.
Any comments?

well... after 114 answers, I think you have good specimens of the very
diverse opinions that have been expressed so far ;-)

in short, mine is : apply full airbrakes just after applying the initial
spin recovery control inputs, and keep them out during dive (gentle)
pull out...
