> You guys, its just a spin.  Lots of people do them.  Lots of people do them
in RV's.  The RV is fully capable. I have never heard of an RV that got into
an unrecoverable spin.  Its a cool thing that airplanes do.  I worked up to
it 1/2 rotation at a time.  I had spin training in the Navy and go into spin
flights mentally ready.  Many airplanes that spin recover by just letting go
of the controls.  The RV, along with a lot of other planes, takes some
positive inputs to recover from a fully developed spin.  No big, you just
have to remain calm and go through the procedures.

Yep, Van doesn't recommend doing more than 2 turns if at all.  He also
doesn't recommend installing anything other than a lycoming.  He also
doesn't recommend making any changes to the plans.

One really cool modification to the plans that I made other than the rotary
engine) was to move the flap motor out of the middle and over to the side.
This simple mod allows me to carry 2 snow boards down the middle (along with
a pax), or I can carry a full size mountain bike.  I'm flying up to Chico
this weekend to go riding at my buddies cabin.  You can't beat that... it is
what it is all about.
