that puts very managable forces on the plane - remember, it is stalled.


Not so safe in an AA1 if you don't have a spin recovery parachute...


Yeah, but I don't think anyone was flying the AA1 in the 30s (see rest of

Was the AA1 the one in the NASA video when the test pilot goes through all
the options, then pops the chute? That is a great video.
