Default 2 x 2 1/4 spin from inverted......

Hi

Aside from the dreaded figure-M, the manouvre from P11 I struggle most with is the 2 x 2 1/4 spin from inverted.

The first part is fine - spin entry and stop after 2 1/4 turns. I never release the (down) elevator, and manage to switch spin direction with rudder and a bit of ailerons.

In the second 2 1/4 spins, the plane rotates much faster - to the degree that it is hard to make a controlled stop.

I use lot of elevator throw, a bit less of rudder and very little aileron.

What am I doing wrong here? How do you all fly this to maintain the same rotation speed in both directions?

Best regards - Paul
