Accession Number : ADA213513 - a spin test report carried out by the guys
at Edwards.

Can any of you guys Stateside point me in the direction of this report?
Says it's Approved for Public Release but I can't find a link that
works.

Cheers in advance.


I can give some practical advice after years of instructing in K21s.
They will spin only towards the bottom end of the front cockpit weight
range, or if tail ballast is fitted. Only stick hard back with full
rudder will promote a spin, and it recovers as soon as you move the
stick forward. With heavier front seat pilots, or no tail ballast, it
will only drop a wing and then go into a gentle spiral dive that can
be recovered by normal control inputs. Although I have not tried it
for airspace reasons, I understand that it will spin quite well above
10,000ft altitude.
