Not really. Spinnable gliders are going to be involved in more
spinning accidents than non-spinnable gliders. And I still think we
should consider all the solo spinners who die because they have been
trained - one way or another - to think that spinning is something you
have to do very deliberately. After all, that K21 wouldn't spin, so
this can't be a spin, so I'll just pull back more and
