A stall/spin from
| close to 1,000 ft probably won't be resolved in time, either. I've
done
| quite a few spins (intentional) with instructors in Port Angeles,
WA, and
| seems to me that it took 1000 to 1200 ft or so to straighten out the
plane.

Larry:
Recovery from a stall/spin/tail slide or whatever, can easily be
recovered from at 1,000 AGL.
My fat mkIII will spin half turn and recover in about 300 feet. Of
course, it has to be persuaded to spin. Entering stalls is easy,
spins are more difficult in Kolbs. However, folks still get in to
them.

PS: My original FS would fly out of a spin with the controls locked,
full aft stick, and full left or right rudder, in half turn. Could
not make it spin a full turn with the engine idling. Dead stick was
another situation. It would spin up like a top. I think that is a
good example of how much drag there is on a windmilling prop.

Probably not as much the drag of the prop, but the gyro effect??

OK, this may be the last word on AZ. Dave. Eve, his wife now want's all
donations to go to the Embry Riddle University here in Prescott. There
address is.
Embry Riddle Aeronautical Inveracity
3700 Willow Creek Rd.
Prescott, As. 86301
Because the University has been so good in allowing her to have the
memorial in it's campus that is why she desires donations be made to the
University.
But for the ones that have sent donations to the Eagles, That's good
too.
The memorial
service will be held here on Saturday December 4th at the DLC auditorium on
campus. Signs will be posted to direct you..
He will be interned in Arlington Nation Cemetery on Dec 22.
He was a hero among us.
I do hope his Arizona friends will come to up celebrate Dave's varied
and interesting life.
The Az. Bald Eagle George Thompson
