Some of you know of Gene.

Keep him in your thoughts and prayers. | ||

Yeah and he's one of the leading training guys in spin and unusual attitude recovery. The "Beggs" recovery is a useful and simple technique for any and all stall situations. He's quite famous in the aerobatic world! http://www.usnationalaerobatic...e&m=36&action=delete | |||

Gene is an innovative person. He mfg and sold wind probes to help us read the wind. It was based on cross wind component. I needed a couple and Gene said he would bring them to Seymour, Texas for the shoot. Seymour is 4hrs or about 265 miles from Odessa. Gene brought them to me and returned home. I thought he was staying to shoot the match that weekend. Just the kind of guy that Gene happens to be. | |||

I read Mr. Beggs article on spinning light aircraft at about the time I started flight instructing. Although it was not required I never soloed a student without showing them spins and how to recover. Before you ask...no, I never had a student quit or ask for another instructor. It's all in how one introduces the subject. The spin is just something a airplane does, it's not a mad tiger hiding behind a cloud waiting to grab you. Anyhow, using Beggs recovery technique gave students an easy to remember and simple to do recovery. My thanks to Mr. Beggs first for doing all the work to refine and prove his system and second for publishing it so all could benefit. | |||

If you are speaking to me, I'm not a pilot and don't claim to know what a spin stall happens to be. I'm sure you are a great instructor. | |||

BL...Comment not directed at you at all...just an example of the value of Mr. Beggs work to a, at that time, working flight instructor. | |||

My comment was directed to you, but I meant no malice. I still say you are a good instructor. | |||

Just the other day student got us into an inverted flat spin coming off a botched hammerhead stall. I let the kid really get his titt in the ringer and allowed the spin to progress into a fully developed power on flat spin. The BEGGS recovery worked again. | |||

Surestrike, Did you employ neutral stick or full back stick in the inverted spin? | |||
|
| one of us |
Power off, opposite rudder, let go of the stick. So yes that would be neutral stick. | |||
