I have flown an early C model with aft c/g (but still in the legal range),
and spin entry was very rapid, with little warning. Back in that time, there
have been 3 fatalities in one year in Germany (1985 or 1986?) with a C
model.

I now fly a A model with Lindner winglets, and I tried stalling/spinning in
all flap configurations. It does sin, but it really needs to be convinced
and can be easily stopped by the standard procedure.


I'd like to add that the 20 of my club with aft C/G also had a rather
violent spin entry at flap setting 4 (thermalling setting), but
overall the spin behaviour of the 20 is very predictable and not
critical at all. I'd deal our 27 for a 20 any time.

The 24 without winglets has a very similar spin behaviour with an aft
CG, btw.


Bye
Andreas
