Good reminder that gloves are off when in extremis…and wrong and alive is still better than dead and correct…for those who hold to the “better to die than to look bad”, there’s an often unquoted continuation…”but you can do both”
Splitting a hair for clarity on spins/landing gear…no disagreement that gear down can move CG (forward=good) or induce nose down pitch, but “slowing” seems a stretch given that by definition of spin you’re already stalled and if you’re not stalled you’re flying…if flying, roll wings level and pull!
