Bang on! If it isn't stalled it can't spin!

Allan

Glider stalling characteristics will, of course, vary with type, flap
position, C of G an even wing condition (bugs, rain etc). Practise
recoveries regularly at a safe height to optimise your technique. But
generally, short of a fully developed spin, the best technique will be
to rapidly move the stick centrally forward to unstall the wings (just
enough to do this, not mechanically fully forward), and then recover
from the ensuing attitude by normal use of controls. Beware the
unnecessary use of coarse control, particularly rudder and particularly
near the ground!
