Granted, the RAE had no standards outside of opinion so they did not know they were in agreement with the NACA conclusions at the time. Interesting paradox regarding stability and control engineering history.
Everything the NACA concludes is listed right there in the Operating Notes published by the Air Ministry as a caution for Operating the aircraft. |
You seem to have missed the rest of that posting:-
The early Spit 1 pilots notes say that intentional spinning is banned also go on to say that its easy to recover from an accidental spin as long as you allow enough height and ensure your speed is 150 mph. I am sure Crumpp who has extensive spinning experience will agree that the two golden rules are a) make sure you have sufficient height, b) Get your speed up to a safe level
With your experience do you agree that the two golden rules are as stated?
If so, then what is dangerous in the pilots notes about spinning?
