Accident in Namibia, SH Ventus 2cxm

The 2-32 is not very slippery, no need to look inside when spin recovery did not work, I recovered from the spiral. Point being, if you had not considered this possibility and are in a slippery glider you might keep this in mind. This is the only aircraft I had intentional spun that would spiral out of the spin.

You should be able to tell the difference. Look at your airspeed indicator. In the spin the air speed will be low or at least stable and in the spiral it will be high and quickly increasing. That was the case on all gliders I spanned. Turn and bank indicator ball in the spin will be all the way to the outside of the turn.
