Hi Tom

Just because the gilder is at a 40 to 50 degree nose up attitude with respect to
the ground does not mean it has the energy for a stall turn.

There was a recent fatality in New Zealand where someone inadvertently tried
this. Assume you were joking, but in case you were serious, please feel free to
try it - the outcome would be merely predictable, if a little sad. Since I live
nearly 9 000 miles away I am confident you will not impact on my personal safety...

SNIP

MAINTAIN
FULL FORWARD STICK AND DEPLOY DRAG CHUTE'

And I think the the spin recovery bold face was: 'STICK
- MAINTAIN FULL
FORWARD, AILERONS - FULL WITH SPIN (TURN NEEDLE), AIRCRAFT
UNLOADED -
AILERONS NEUTRAL'

Departures were interesting, but spins were a bad thing!

Off to fly!

Differs from the SEPECAT Jaguar where the action is
much simpler. SEIZE BLACK AND YELLOW HANDLE, PULL HARD
