People also make the false assumption that just because you've used a spin to avoid an attack you were "stick stirring".
Last night to avoid a shot being made on me and to gain the overshoot at the same time, I used full left rudder and opposite full right aileron while pushing the nose down, did a half spin to avoid the guns pass and gained an overshoot that allowed me to damage the bandits engine as he pulled into the vertical on the overshoot. The other guy sent me repeated PMs calling me a stick stirring n00b when all I did was a legitimate spin and in no way 'stick stirred' to acheive it. The spin maneuver I did was a favorite of Hartmann's that I've started to call it the "Hartmann Escape".
