While getting checked out on his new Lancair 320, his instructor decided to demonstrate stall recoveries (instructor was the same instructor I used on my Lancair checkout). At the stall, the right wing dropped violently, initiating a spin entry. Full spin never materialized due to pilot control inputs. Full recovery from the stall/spin-entry was acheived. Same results during stall all the time... I'm guessing it could be rigging problems or could be wing construction errors. My instructor friend will be flying this Lancair to our airport and I can look at the set-up first hand. Ideas and/or comments?
