It's usually the un-spinning that ends up being the problem.

How true! The Yankee TR-2 is placarded against intentional spins since it was discovered in testing that if you entered a spin near Jupiter, you didn't have enough altitude to recover, comforting thought for a trainer :roll:

And in a Cirrus, spin recovery is about $100,000.00, as the only way out is to pull the big handle.
