Opposite aileron? I learned that when you get into a spin with a glider, you have to neutralize the aileron and go opposite with the rudder. And then, when it's neutralized, you go neutral and pull it out of the dive. Is this different in a glider with flaps? Or am I just confused with the English translation from the Dutch?
ps. I can't wait for the season to start again. I really want to fly again. Nice video and nice thermals :) Have a nice flight.

@jelmerholland You are completely correct. I misspoke and was intending to say opposite RUDDER instead of aileron. I was a little bit distracted trying to stay in the thermal, not spin into the mountain, film and talk at the same time. ;) You are right on with the proper procedure. Thanks for watching. Bruno

did you open brakes just before spin?

@vanwaestel No, just as the spin started I immediately moved the flaps to a more negative setting which helps to stop the spin. This glider was quite prone to spinning so it became an instant reflex just as a spin starts. Good question. Bruno
