Default RE: Spin exit

Yes Hook, I meant the drooped leading edge (I was thinking wing nose), and I was going to point out that an aircraft that is supposed to be spin-resistent will be the easiest to get out of a spin, just by letting the controls go. What I found surprising when I learned (was taught by a master) to fly aerobatics was that even the really spin-resistent Cessnas are easy to spin using the competion entry into spin - without ailerons and flaps, just slow down 2 knots above stall speed, then gently yaw with rudder and observe whats happening. Sooo smooth and gentle. We never tried a developed spin with a standard Cessna.

In addition to what I said above about charecteristics making for an easy spin recovery, I would say the two models mentioned by Skylane seem to have a small and somewhat shielded vertical tail. (I looked at the pictures in the Classic Pattern Image Base.)
