In reply to the list of accidents with spinning:



Recently there was spin training (on a Fox) in The Netherlands. Out

of 20 instructors, only one got the Fox out of a spin without any

unintended maneuvers. Many instructors pulled to early after

stopping the rotation (and recovering the stall), causing a

spin/flick maneuver.

The one instructor that did it right the first time had extensive

aerobatic experience.



All I'm trying to say is: while it might appear from the statistics

that the Puchacz is at fault, other factors can also play a role.

Roel,

as an instructor, I would say that a double seater which tends to flick to the other side after spin recovery is a NoGo for basic instruction or first flight. With a Fox, it's ok - but it was designed for full aerobatics, and nbody would even think of using it as a basic trainer.

I have never flown the Puchaz, but looking at the statistics for spin accident with a FI on board, I tend to see an issue with this glider vs ASK's and the like.
