Don't spin a Puch without chutes and a hard deck(1000m agl). Ever.

Out of sheer curiosity, why do you say that?

I've been flying gliders for 18 years and have spun the club's Puchacz at
least once in each of those years. Its always done what I expected it to
do apart from the occasional wing drop in an intentional stall and has
never spun when I wasn't expecting it to. Its the one of our club's two
seaters that I most enjoy flying solo.
