it definitely will, because I did exactly that on an

I was trained on Southern Cross's IS28s. I remember the first time a spin was
demonstrated to me: I had no idea it would be so fast and so (comparitively) violent.
I recall putting my hands up onto the canopy to brace myself -- all I could see out
the front was the ground, rapidly rotating. Of
The reason you had it was that the IS30 is ex-Southern Cross.
I think that there is some confusion over this locking pin. The 28's in SCGC have had
them as long as I've been in the club (17 years), and were fitted by Tom Gilbert.
The reason I always heard was that a front seat pilot had

You probably have demonstrated exactly WHY we teach people to recover from spins.
If you were to inadvertently spin a single seater, and responded by placing your hands
on the canopy, then I'm afraid you would be frightened for the rest of your (very
short) life, unless you were lucky
The followingextracts from the CGC pilot handling notes
for the IS-30 and IS-29D might be of interest to thoseinvolved inthe
debate on spinning their "cousin", the IS-28. The notes were drafted
toassist pilots with conversion to type.

John, you are right.
In the second paragraph of my posting it should have read
Puchatek and not Puchacz.

Probably the reason Australian instructors are dismissive of this technique is that
nobody flies at the stall and gives a bootful of rudder.
An accidental spin is more likely to be entered by poor thermalling technique, or by
the stress of a poor circuit, with an attempt at stretching a glide.

Thanks Jarek, now do we have anyone here who knows what is

I can't give a good answer to your question but I would like to know too.
I was under the impression (like most glider pilots in Australia) that
At the time part of AUGC's decision to buy the Puchatek was because we could
use it for spin training to replace our Bocian.
I think the polish glider characteristic of requiring correct spin recovery
technique is good. Unfortunately many german built types let you off with
partial recovery. We
I had a quiet chuckle reading Cathy's story regarding spinning Cessna's.
When I did my initial PPL training, I asked my instructor about spinning the
C172. No problem, he said.
Out we went to the Parafield training area, climbed to 4,000' AMSL and spun

Hi all, I recently found a "List of Symbols" (Aerodynamic!)
that has come from some Aerodynamics book. Anyone who would like a copy (7 small
pages) I am willing to have them copied for the cost of the copying and postage.
Cheers, Ron Baker.

I have some friends that live on Commenarra Parkway, and will be seeing them this weekend, so perhaps I could ask them to door-knock the address on the brochure you attached and a couple either side to see if anyone knows what became of David Hart.
