I would think the test pilot is well aware of how to recover correctly from a spin. He needs to test all scenerios including aggrevating a stall / spin with aileron input.

Very true, using aileron to get out of a spin can be deadly. Always apply opposite rudder to the direction of the spin.

Id and tony are you guys serious, the guy is recovering from the spin before it even goes through a full rotation and you guys are giving him advice. This is a test flight done by a test pilot I think he knows that opposite rudder is the key to spin recovery, he's not a pre-solo flight training student and this isn't a cessna 172. You both need to get over yourselves. sheesh lol
