Only hairy apes like me would compete Paul.

Every rule has it's ambiguities, some are more glaring than others. This is one of them because someone tried to be inclusive due to the flying characteristics of our much lighter, and smaller, planes. Most planes can be properly spun, some take a bit more input and work to get them to do it in textbook fashion. We are trying to fly the manuvers per textbook, or so I always thought, with 10 being perfect, and downgrades from there. Why bother having a downgrade criteria for a portion of the flight that is not even supposed to exist? The plane is not supposed to fly foreward after the stall break, yet we allow it to happen and just downgrade for it.

You still have not answered how far the plane is supposed to fly forward in a stalled condition before the manuver is no longer considered a spin, Paul. Getting everyone on the same page would help with this little conflict with perfection .. . I say 2-3 plane lengths. max.

After that I start giving negative numbers that subract from all the other manuvers in the sequence. NOW we're talking anti-sissy IMAC.
