Yes, we can and do know. The Puchacz as well as the Junior have been frequently flown in aerobatics contests. To my knowledge, no Puch nor Junior has been spun into the ground during a contest. So they do recover. More, they even do recover forseeably and precisely, otherwise they wouldn't be flown in contests. I can cite more than one instance where an "experienced pilot" has spun a "well known" design, under "normal" circumstances resulting in "unexpected" characteristics. There are dozens, or more, variables involved and to assume that you have seen all the possibilities is shortsighted to say the least. You should not assume that you are doing everything the same way every time, with identical equipment. I've experienced such episodes and no longer will "explore" that part of a flight envelope. An appropriate phrase for such activity is "practice bleeding". |
