Van's recently sent me raw video of their spin and stall testing on the RV-12 prototype. I cropped out the long stretches of level flight and uploaded this 7min 36sec clip to YouTube. You can view the video on the RV-12 News Portal Page (where it is embedded) or you can go to the YouTube URL. The first actual spins occur around the 2min 20sec mark. Around the 3min 50sec mark the stall tests with tufts of yarn taped to the wing begin. Very interesting to watch! Special thanks to Van's Aircraft, Inc. for providing this footage. dr

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.
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
