I sure would like to see some definitive cites on this question, because
I have "heard" quite a different story: that the Cirrus requires some
extraodinary control inputs to force it to spin, but it will, and
factory pilots have recovered without pulling the 'chute.

Anybody have any reliable references to testimony on this subject?
