You are having a bad day. You got your model airplane into a spin. Now how the heck do you get out of it?
How do you avoid getting into a spin in the first place? How can you get your model into a controlled spin? What is the only full-size airplane designed from the ground up to be spin proof?

Why do you get a dihedral effect from wing sweep? Learn why in this segment of Ask the RCadvisor on The Crash Cast.
First I explain adverse yaw. There’s a lot more to adverse yaw than you might realize. Then I tie it into an explanation of how you get effective dihedral from wing sweep. This segment was a tough one, but I think I did a decent job of explaining it all. Did you like it? Let me know in the comments!
