anyone know the accident history of the ASH-25? I have about 200 hours in
Nimbus 4D and 4DM. Have about 500 hours in a Nimbus 4t that I did spin

and
the single seat nimbus is a beautiful flyer.


Loss of control is a wide category. I know one of the above is a winch
launch gone sour. Not much to do with spinning charachteristics...
