Curious Kevin, what are you using for a camera setup on a shot like this?

> one day I video recorded what happens in my RV-6A when I attempt
> to stall/spin.  with the stick held full back and neutral, rudders
> neutral, power off, you can see the ride I get.  it is actually a
> lot more bouncy and shaking than the video portrays.  I would
> never do this with say, my wife, on board.  eventually the left
> wing drops a lot, speed picks up and the plane dives and pulls up,
> ready to start this routine all over again.  at this point I give
> full right rudder to initiate a spin, recovering several thousand
> feet below the 5000' starting altitude.  I have tried the "flying
> leaf" maneuvers [only rudder corrections to a stall] before, and
> again, never get into a full stall.  
> note - RV spin recovery requires neutral or forward stick along
> with opposite rudder.  this is not like the T-craft I learned to
> fly in.  pushing the stick in the direction of the spin will
> really wind it up.  don't do this!  Van himself told me that!
> [afterwards]   stick to 1 or 2 revolutions[ not 6], that's all
> Vans has ever tested.     kevin
