Heh, it looks alot prettier when you throw an intentional spin, shoot your enemy while in the spin, and recover like in this film :)

If you push forward on the stick before you really hit the spin you can avoid it pretty consistantly. This flat spin should only really catch you if your nose high when an engine dies.

That's not the spin in question.  The spin Geary mentioned comes from being between 10-90 degrees nose down while pulling max controled elevators, and one of the following: exceeding max elevators, retracting flaps (if they were down), a sudden rudder input, or hard aeliron input.

This results in an abrupt tail round spin which can vary in severity.  How to recover was explaned in the first reply, which was why I didnt bother to chime in.

No, only thing that sucks is P38 drivers that leave and don't return.

flaps and back out of your stall with forward mouse rolling, will get you out of anything but a flatspin.

good luck

best way to avoid the stall is to not fly that pos plane.  :aok
