You could probably say that about almost any small airplane, really...


Are you saying the BD-5 will not recovery from a spin?


I was thinking more about the RV-6... I've spun ours a couple times, and while it can wrap
up pretty fast, recovery is just idle power, opposite rudder, and forward stick. A
stall/spin won't necessarily kill you. Like any airplane, however, do that at low/pattern
altitude and you're dead...
