Hi Scott,
 
They say a picture is worth a thousand words.
Come visit me here in New England and I'll give you the big picture. 
Then you can write the thousand words.
 
By the time you get back to mid continent, you'll be that much closer to "safety".
 
You've got my number

The CFII further said that, “All spins are pilot induced.”  I suppose so, as the AOA increased it is likely that right rudder is used to offset P-factor. If these two forces are not balanced at the stall the plane probably falls off to one side or the other.  Perhaps one of our aerobatic 300 series brethren could comment further (Mark?) as I don’t do stalls or spins.  Having no experience entering a Lancair spin, upon entering one I would simultaneously pull the power and momentarily cover my eyes – this would seem to be correct as both hands would be off the controls for a bit.  I guess I should still await comment from those more experienced (that’s easy, isn’t it?).  The real issue with slick Lancairs is how quick they are at leaving a safe flight regime and then how quick they are at furthering the depth of any abnormal flight regime.

 

And other obscure performance puzzles.

Only 70 hours more to safety.
