- To the poster who was worried about the Decathlon spin characteristics:
-
- This bird has to be the easiest, gentlest spinning machine made. Recoveries
- are very consistant. Keep the stick back, and use full opposite rudder.
- After the rotation stops, neutralize the rudder before moving the elevator
- forward. Don't listen to the C150 aces on how to spin and recover - if
- you want to have a real exciting ride in a Decathlon, shove the stick
- forward while you still have opposite rudder on. You will most probably
- snap into an inverted spin!
