_FES_vs_Gas_Engine_–_Finding_a_Thermal?

Another comment: the only vicious and totally-unexpected spin entry I ever... Well that sounds horrible! Are pylon powered sailplane manufacturers required to demonstrate spin recovery with the engine out and stopped? All pylon-drive machines suffer some degradation of tail effectiveness because of the pylon wake, much worse with a big radiator as in gas powered machines. The V2cm in plummet-mode is not real stable in yaw with much reduced elevator and rudder authority, and I was specifically warned to be extremely careful with this configuration...
