My video that has been referenced before can be a good learning tool but
there are some facts that need to be known. I was flying in an ASW-20BL
that had some major known flight and stability issues. The ship would try
to spin on me at least 10 times every flight while thermalling! As you can
see in the video I was able to get out of it and still stay centered in the
thermal. Spinning is always a surprise but I had actually gotten used to it.

Really? I believe I was one of the past owners of that ship, and it was the nicest handling glider I ever owned, and I never once had a problem with an inadvertent spin entry (I did do 90% of my flying with the 16.6M tips, though). What the heck did you guys do to it out in Utah? ;^)
