Default Knife Edge spin

I have done a couple of knife edge spin by accident, but I don't know how to enter one on purpose. Can someone give me a clue? Thanks, Dale

What I do with my extra 300 is go vertical (GET UP HIGH) chop the power let it get to the stall point and corner the sticks in the top right or left and whalla. you loose altitude very fast so make sure your high.

The way I do it is to go vertical. Do a blender (roll left for 2 turns and go to the upper inside corners with the sticks). Then I start neutralizing the ailerons to get the flatspin flat. Right before the spin gets flat, hold the ailerons right there and switch the rudder over the other way. This method works on all my planes, but Im sure there are a few exceptions out there. You can take this and experiment with it and Im sure you get it sonner or later. Good Luck.
