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! IAN STRACHAN Lasham Gliding Society |
