Not really. Spinnable gliders are going to be involved in more
spinning accidents than non-spinnable gliders.


You are correct, Ian - but here in Germany still a lot of Ka-7 and
ASK-13 are in use which do spin well and are commonly used for spin
training (not to mention other two-seaters that spin like the DG-500).
Yet I have not heard of a spin accident in one of them so far,
although their number far exceeds the number of Puchacz.
