I would like to solicit comments on the question: Compared to a standard
tail configuration such as a 2-33 or Blanik L-13, does the initiation and
recovery from a spin vary substantially in T-tail (ASK-21 type),
all-flying (Phoebus) or V-tail (HP series) sailplanes? Really look forward
to reading and learning.

No significant differences - stick neutral, rudder against direction
of the pin.

Some V-tail gliders require the stick to be pushed fully forward (to
achieve sufficient deflection of the V-tail).


Ron,

Like Andreas, I find no significant dirrerences. My "V" tail HP-14 doesn't require any special technique.
