Vaughn I can imagine the problem resides in a refusal of the plane to drop its nose properly and build airspeed when one wing is more deeply stalled than the other. I'd guess a tendency to be too flat in the spin and adding more rudder is not the solution. One thing that stops yaw increasing is body section and the center of aerodynamic resistance as the spin progresses. It may be that the skinny aft section and a lack of boxiness to increase drag for yaw (and a low inertial nose) makes things worse in that regard. As yaw rate increases the spin starts to flatten... My 2c. Cheers |
