The spin is noticably flatter (but still quite recoverable)
when close to the back of the Utility range.


Fascinating. I'd never heard of people spinning Cherokees. I've had an
ingrained assumption (prejudice?) that low wing airplanes are much more
susceptible to unrecoverable spins than high wing. That's what always made me
feel safer in low-end Cessnas.

Maybe I was unfairly traumatized, but I saw a guy get killed when he couldn't
get his Pitts out of an inverted flat spin. I know that's a different beast
than what we've been discussing, but I'll always be hugely wary of spins.
