Puchaz spin count 23 and counting
Bill Daniels said, *Rather than blame the glider, I would point the finger at training that doesnt equip pilots with the skills needed to fly these gliders* I tend to agree. Have umpteen hours in Puchii. I have always found them very predictable if flown within C of G limits. Have never had a problem with spin recovery if the correct technique is employed. If treated like a Blanik (when auto rotating) and back pressure alone is released, they definitely will not come out. The full correct drill must be applied. I have found no recovery problem with 8 or more turn spins during aerobatic sequences. HOwever, as indicated it probably would not hurt for a recap by those with the skills regarding any nasty that may be lurking. Remove the doubt once and for all.
