Checklist for new ship selection
My point is that there are other ships in existence that spin
effectively so as to allow the teaching of spins and spin recovery that
don't have a reputation of killing people. Anyone can "spin in" if they
screw things up at low altitude. Masak appears to be an example of this
unfortunately. However, if you polled the glider community I don't
think anyone would come forward and say Blaniks, DGs, LSs, Schleichers,
or Schempp gliders have a particular tendency to spin in. This is the
case with the Puchacz and it seems to stand out in this regard.
