Inproper spin recovery directions
I noticed in the demo that the recommended steps to take to get out of a spin are to use ailerons and pitch forwards. While it may work in this game, the correct way (taught in flight schools the world over) is to:
1: neutralise the ailerons and use full rudder opposite to the direction of spin
2: release back pressure (stop pulling up) and push forwards slightly
3: once spinning has stopped, level the wings with the horizon
4: pull up out of the resulting dive gently (so as not to stall the plane again)
Steps 1 and 2 take place immediatly and essentially at the same time.
DO NOT do step 3 and 4 at the same time as the resulting stress may break the plane. (Take a pop can and push the ends UP together and it'll hold. Twist the pop can and it will also hold. But push and twist the pop can and it will crumble. This is the same idea as with the plane.)
But don't take my word for it, find out for yourself and more by joining your local flight club!
