> Steady 43 knots straight and level / full negative flap.  In spite of
Anthony's comment it was in fact a "touch" of rudder, not a "bootful".  With
my weight and a parachute I would have been a little way forward of the rear
limit.

difference in response.  There is a bit of variety from one Ventus to
another, both from the works and due to aftermarket modifications.  This
particular aircraft has since had decent fillets applied to the wing/fuse
junction and thermals considerably better with the mod.  It would be
interesting to see if it has had any effect on the spin entry.

Some years ago I experimented with spinning Jantar 1 (19m wing span). It
would spin much more willingly with less warning and rapid antry when flying
with psitive flaps.
