Why does airspeed change when I adjust the prop?

Hardly seems definitive, to me. Company pilots, reciting the company
position.
Kinda' like a "he said she said" type of deal.
I'm pretty sure I have read that some owners have successfully spun and
recovered it.
I don't know - someone who just spent several hundred grand on a new
airplane and noticed that the manufacturer advised against intentional spins
and that the approved recovery technique involved destroying the airplane
probably wouldn't go out and intentionally spin theirs.
Then again, "virtually unrecoverable" isn't the same as "unrecoverable"
either, so apparently it is recoverable. The point is that the statement
"virtually unrecoverable" would seem to indicate that the aircraft doesn't
respond just like any other in terms of spin recovery.
That said, spins that end in crashes usually aren't intentional IMO, they're
inadvertent and at low (read that unrecoverable) altitudes, and that's a
whole different animal.
