Title: Spit Mark IX Stall & Spin Recovery
Post by: waystin2 on September 07, 2007, 06:59:48 AM

I asked about the stall limiter last week, and by popular recommendation have been flying without.  So it's on to the next issue.  I have been pushing my AC to the limit and beyond, and occasionally that leads to stalls and spins.  Any suggestions on recovering from stalls & spins in the Mark IX?  Thank you in advance for the schooling!

Good advise, but I fly the IX a lot and find if you do a nose up stall, and get into a flat spin, you are in big trouble.  I have never been able to get out of that.

Spit 9 is an ubercraft.....I flew this plane as my main ride for over a year. When you do a nose up stall use rudder and flaps. It is one of the most forgiving planes and it is easily recovered from spins you just gotta be gentle on the stick. If you yank to hard in a direction without your stick set right its gonna spin. I had a friend i tryed getting into AH and he played in the H2H and he always had problems with any craft spinning on him cuz he would yank way to hard in a direction. Some times you gotta treat your plane like a lady and use a gentle touch.

In a nose up stall push ailerons, elevators, and rudder all one way for a few seconds (2-3 sec should be good) then everything the other way. It works for the 16 but im not sure about the 9. I'll have to test it out.

Nose up spins are a bear - I've found that in some aircraft (Spit V, VIII) that the only way to get the nose down is drop landing gear.

Try dropping your gear too ...

I tried the gear idea, it just ripped them apart.  I chopped throttle using gentle movements of rudder & such, and it seems hit or miss.  I flew the Mark 8 stalled three times and pulled out 2 of the 3.  The Mark 8 seems to have an easier recovery.

Theoretically, you could try to firewall the throttle if you're not doing so already. Then follow make all the control surfaces follow in the direction of torque, i.e. left.

In a spitfire I, you're screwed.
