I recently completed the flight testing on my rocket and am just about done with Rich Stowell's excellent book "Stall/Spin Awareness" (ya I know it's a little backwards).
The book was really eye opening to me in regards to how even minor changes to an airplane and/or how abused controls can really effect the plane's spin recoverability.
I'm curious about others experiences spinning their rocket. I haven't had any issues recovering from about a 1 1/2 turn spin. I still haven't done a fully developed spin or an inverted spin.
I'm guessing without a passenger it would be hard to get into a flat spin situation with the forward cg. Anyone experience anything unusual or noteworthy doing intentional spins?
