[NSRCA-discussion] Spins, was Judging Question

[Bob Richards]

That is something that I noticed a long time ago, particularly for flat spins. Let go of everything, but give ailerons in the same direction of the spin. It comes out of a flat spin much quicker.
   
  I'm no aerodynamicist, but my theory is that the raised aileron helps the airflow to reattach to the stalled wing.

  Ok, since you mentioned spins, and I know this is a little off the 
original topic, why do airplanes recover from spins with aileron input 
faster than just with rudder and elevator? My Black Magic, Aggressor, 
and Arresti III all exhibit this behavior. They recover almost 
instantly if I leave aileron in, but take about 1/4 turn or a little 
more to recover if I don't.
