I WANT trainers to be stallable/spinable. A student will advance to
gliders that can (and will) and I want them to know how to deal with it.
You understand that this is a religious war :-).

Ok Tony - religious war it will be! :*)

Seriously, our T21 would simply mush as speed decreased. Get it high
enough, apply some speed and pull up - cross controls and it would fall
off to side and NOT spin! I was spin-trained in a K13, a Capstan
(T53?)and a Bocian. I enjoyed spins.
