Just did some quick tests (scientifically, both ways three times each) to get an average time on how long it took to recover from a self-induced spin (I put the throttle to idol, rudder hard over to the right, ailerons to the left and pulled back on the stick to induce the spin).
My way average recovery after three attempts was 9.83 seconds with the lowest being 9 seconds dead, middle was 9.7 and the highest was 10.8
Your way the average was 5.73 seconds, the lowest being 4.8, then 6.2 and 6.3.
Obviously there are too many variables to say that all 6 times were exactly the same spin, I tried to leave it spinning for around four seconds before trying to recover, but that probably wasn't pinpoint accurate at least. Either way, it'd seem your way is substantially quicker enough to say that, variables aside, it is probably still the quicker way considering how much quicker it was in the tests.
It would seem, then, scientifically (ish
) that your way is the better way, by about one third. Again, that's why these videos are so useful, you're always learning something new!
EDIT: And Nepe essentially confirms that, so I'll go with that way from now on. Thanks both!
