Default regular spin

The problem with the Edge isn't that it won't break on the spin entry, but that the break is gradual and the nose doesn't pitch down a whole lot compared to other planes. The slow motion mush-break gets missed by some judges unfortunately. The only way to get a sharper higher speed break is to use more rpm and speed while adding up elevator. This gets the nose very high and will give a sharper break. Unfortunately, this tends to make the plane climb from the straight line entry, so there's another downgrade. Adding a little rudder does help sharpen the break, but then you've got some judges who are trying to donwgrade for that too.
