Sara, The Tucano is good enough to use in a Pattern comp in the lower classes as it is very precise. With an engine like the OS .46 AX up front, it will knife edge with ease an very little rudder input.

Spins are no big deal with this bird. Just make sure you are at least "3 mistakes " high before you commence. It will stop spinning within 1/2 a turn of you releasing the TX sticks. Then just ease on some up elevator and apply power as the nose comes up.
You will need to have at least 12 mm elevator throw to get it to spin. Good luck
