Colyn,
   The inadvertant spin occured on th eWest Coast, On vectors form APC,entered IMC at 2000', received clearance change, my radio reply causeda 'hard up' on my S-Tec 50 A/P.  I just saw blue sky at 5500' and the right wing dropped into an abrupt spin,  attitude gauges went bananas, airspeed low, fighting A/P.  Dumped it, pulled power to idle, stick to neutral, tried right then left rudder,  one direction eased rotation, hung with it, airspeed increased, eased stick back and broke out of a dive and clouds at about 1900'. T-34 spin training years ago was why I survived.  I feel that spin training is mandatory if youplan to fly in IMC or night tim.. We have great A/C but they skills germain to them....Don Skeele   (850)626-4946 Milton FL
