Default ASW-20 spins

'inverted' seems to be the key word.

Saw the quote below in another thread regarding spoilers open while

turning (it was actually in the comment section under the video ) and

wondering if anyone could comment? This is the proper spin recovery
technique.

"The ASW 20 killed a number of pilots by spinning inverted out of a

steep
banked turn with positive flaps in thermals. They would go full stick
forward and rudder against the apparent rotation in an effort to recover
which simply held them in the spin.

Well, that's not the correct recovery techniques in *any* glider, is it?
