Spit I "flat spin"
« Reply #30 on: October 02, 2006, 10:04:58 AM »
Got exactly this symptom (Spit I flat spin) in the BoB special event on Saturday.

Rode all the way down from 15k to the deep-blue sea with no hope of recovery.  Did all the normal tricks (opposite rudder, nose down, engine off etc) but to no avail.

Only difference was I wasn't inverted.   First time I've ever not managed to get out of a spin at that sort of alt.

I've put the spit1 into that spin once and it felt as if no control surface was doing anything to help.  I'll have to try the gear idea though.
