The tail of that plane is really huge, reletive to the size. If that thing isn’t spin stable, with a tail that size, I could not tell you why,

Interesting that the Boeing 777 was built entirely on computers - all the parts were designed and built that way. The plane was put together and flew the first time. You would think they could do the same with a GA plane. This Skycatcher is supposed to replace the Cessna 152 series plane and also be a primary GA trainer in a light sport classification ... the Cessna 162 will cost around 110K, just right for your pocketbook these days ....

Spinning a Cessna 152 Aerobat (with the checkerboard wings) was as fun as it ever got for me during training.

(I took 40 hours of flying lessons to get over my fear of flying. I refused to get a med clearance so I never had to solo.)
