I just put 'spin characteristics of Consolidated B-24' into GOOGLE and landed in the middle of a 10 year old breath holding competetion among several individuals on spinning a B-24

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

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