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 (more)
So no actual spin?

This is so cool! So cool! To be able to 'view' the invisible fluid, air. Thank you. I want to do this for a living...but with cars, to make 'em slippery yet stable. Thanks!
