Well, I would argue they are not similar (spinning and outlanding). However, there are many reasons for purposely doing either.

While not being a spin fanatic (I know some who are, Thanx Cathy) I can honestly say that I have purposely spun (or had a good go at it) every glider that I have more than a handful of hours in (where it was allowed in the manual). Where spinning is part of the valid flight envelope of an aircraft there will be people who want to explore that sort of behaviour (or even get to like doing it) why should we be surprised at this? I could ask, why would you not? As for outlandings, I can't even deny purposeful outlandings since I posted a rather long BORING one that I was involved in on this very email list "A late bit of stuff from Klix" (31/8/04). So mea culpa there too I'm afraid. :-) (depends a bit on your definition of an outlanding, though) Regards SWK (And Terry N's response was a good come back too) ********************************************************************** This email and any file attachments are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
