Interesting noone has mentiond flap setting yet - setting the flaps to
negative is by far the best way to quicken up the spin recovery.

I guess pretty many pilots here have flown the ASW-20 - recovering it
with setting 4 (zhermal setting) with a medium to rearward CG ca take
up to 2 turns, but with flaps 1 (fully negative) recovery takes at
maximum 0.75 turns.

Not surprising at all - it would surprise me if anybody really wants
to teach this. Lets see -

- A desire to teach a standardized recovery
- Don't distract people with grabbing for a handle while under stress
(or if not stress just physically being thrown around a little)
- Likelyhood of grabbing the wrong handle (esp. if transitioning from
another ship) and just moving it (i.e. opening full spoilers)
- With full negative flap what happens to increased likelihood of
entering another/reverse spin if the pilot recovers too "hard"?
