Default Knife Edge spin

H-82,
NOTHING knife edge spins like a CAP!. Look at the last decade or so of TOC tapes and you will see the answer. Many planes will do it (I have herd the Ultimates roll out) however look at the way they present. I don't personally like the way an "Edge" looks in stalled manuvers as the rotation looks strange to me (compare Strawberry and Chocolate ice cream ~ It's a personal preference).

The forward placement of the stab with the low wing and many other factors contribute to this.

Enjoy,
Bill
