Thoughts??
I've done a lot of spins. Too many people think it's all about the rudder. Yes, yaw while stalled/stalling can get you into it, but the last thing you want to do is "slam" opposite rudder when you're starting to yaw in one direction (unless you want some awesome opposite spins and crazy attitudes). Get that AOA down, that's the most important part. Get out of the stalled condition. No, you don't want to enter a spin in the normal cat, and it's VERY difficult to do this unless you're intentionally trying to, but if by some crazy strange chance it does start to happen, just push the nose forward fast and get that AOA down.
