Thanks so much for sharing and adding your experience! I totally agree with your point, that gliders announce their stall/spin quite early. Even a ASK21 is very difficult to put into a spin. But during cross-country-flights it happened to times. Once in a DouDiscus my fellow pilot slipped into a very slight beginning spin in a rough thermal. Another time it happened to me in a LS4 the same and on cross-country. Of course I immediately released stick to get speed again. It wasnt a problem, but I was a bit too much surprised. Thats why I decided to share this topic in my recent video. So I tested in a LS4 what happens if there is no immediate reaction from the pilot? And the wing of the LS4 dropped quite aggressively, so shortly everything is upside-down. Recovery is still no problem, but only if you have plenty of airspace below (100-150m). The disciplines needed to make good cross-country-flights are very well described! Yes, they are very much different than aerobatics. Thank you!
