Never thought about that. Doubt if the SM judges would go for it, anyway. Especially that many turns and flat, too. -- Dan T182T at 4R4

Never thought about that. Doubt if the SM judges would go for it, anyway. Especially that many turns and flat, too. Well, if one of the prototypes went flat! But yeah, they spun tested everything back then. It could either spin and recover or not be spinnable at all. I can't see why the B 29 woulnd't have spun and recovered fairly well. Nothing aerodynamically funky about it. All light aircraft had to be certified for spins or unspinnable up to the mid fifties. Some airplanes slipped throught the net, though and are placarded against today. The PA 23, for instance. Bertie
