I haven't experienced a fully developed spin, but I have taken it to
the wing drop stage. (A fully developed spin for me may be difficult
anyway as I'm right at the forward C of G limit).
I don't see why the standard recovery, as covered in the manual
wouldn't work -- just be prepared to push the flap level forward as
you recover so you don't exceed the max flaps speed.
I find the mushing stall quite strange in mine -- other than losing
elevator authority and the change in airflow sound, mine doesn't
give much away... the speed just bleeds off, and I haven't felt any
pre-stall buffet. Mine just seems to "hang there, " before suddenly
dropping a wing.

Spin Characteristics
Can those mini pilots that have experienced full multi rotation
spins in
the mini describe what caused the spin, the glider's configuration,
the
glider's behavior in a spin, and the steps they took to recover...
I've never spun my mini, N171XX, SN 103. Our club is about to
initiate
spin tramping in our new ASK 21s, so I would like to spin the mini
if safe
to do so.
