I always found it interesting that the FAA didn't certify airplanes that
were unsafe to spin until they decided that spins were unsafe to teach! :-)

A spin is a perfectly safe and controlled maneuver at a very slow
airspeed
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...
