I hope everyone read what I posted alittle bit ago about spins. No
aircraft will spin if coordinated flight is maintained. Period.
Stalls are not bad if they occur when we want them to, after all we are
stalling when we land. You just need to choose when it happens and understand
how not to have it happen when you don't want it to.
Those of you with low experience or no spin time, can avoid such situations
by installing a turn coordinator, or at the very least and inclinometer (ball)
on your panel and keep the ball centered at all times. You may have a
controlled spiral, but the airplane will still be flying and you will not be
spinning. If you have a KR without flaps, or you choose to slip under a given
situation, than make sure that you keep the airspeed up at your approach speed,
and the nose below the horizon. Be smooth on the controls and you should have
no problems. In all accident reports that I have read involving high
performance aircraft, the KR included, everyone has gotten in trouble when they
got low and slow, whether on takeoff or landing. Don't be afraid of spins.
Have a healthy respect for them and train on how to deal with them properly.
