Default Q: C-152 spin characteristics

Getting ready to do spins for CFI training, which means not only do I
get to perform them, I have to delivery a ground lesson on them first
as well, so I'm gathering all the data I can find.

Information I have says that in a developed spin most light airplanes
make a complete turn and lose 500' about every 3 seconds.


Well, that would be a vertical speed of about 100 knots and I would think a
vertical speed of less than fifty in a 150 would be more likey.
