Beware of the flat spin!!! Yikes, I put my sky scooter into the deck HARD after I couldn't pull out from a flat spin soon enough. It started from less than 100' up, so not much time to get it under control. Other times It went into a flat spin, I
would kill the motor and turn full opposite of the spin, then throttle back on and it usually came out of it pointing straight down but enough air to pull up and fly away. When she finally stopped spining I was only about 10' off the ground and
WHAMMM!!! Had to hike about 150 yds. I hate that 'walk of shame' back carring pieces. The nose with motor and gear box was about 15' away from the fuse. & wing. Wires torn loose, prop broken. The fuselage was broken half way through back at the receiver position. Double dirty darn!!! I hate when that happens!! Another thing I have noticed is that every time she has gone into a flat spin its been turning to the right, and the nose has been a bit high as in heading toward a stall. This usually happens when she is at a distance and the attitude of the plane is not so clear to keep the nose flat or slightly down. The question is, is there a standard procedure for recovering from a flat spin?
