With your experience in spinning can you tell me how you can pull 10g in a spin,
You can pull 10G on the z axis anytime you are over 218mph IAS in a Spitfire.

You need to be "well over" 150mph and at 150 mph you are only 68 mph away from the ability to destroy the airframe on a single axis load. That is not very far away.

Problem with spin recovery is you are not on a single axis load as it requires rudder input to recover.

I can see why so many airframes broke up on recovery.
