Proper spin techniques?

[Nealius]

It seems like the Yak-52 is popular for doing spins in real life, but are there any guides on how to do them properly? Like engine settings, entry altitude, entry speed, how and when you're supposed to move the stick to enter the particular type of spin and how to get out of it?

Any PDF versions of an English manual for the Yak? I googled but only found Russian or payware.

According to the RW manual it's the standard entry/recovery.

entry

1. trim for 170km/h in level flight at min 1500m AGL

2. idle, keep altitude and reduce the speed to 110km/h

3. apply full rudder

4. as soon as the nose and the wing start dropping, apply full aft stick.

 

pitch attitude -50° to -70°. One turn 250-300m. Two turns 500m

 

exit

5. apply full opposite rudder

6. as soon as the rudder reaches the stop, apply full forward stick.

7. at 160-170km/h pull out from the dive.

This is a payware but at least you can access the entire online manual.

Upon entering a spin, key acronym PARE:

Power idle

Ailerons neutral

Rudder opposite direction of spin

Elevator forward

The Yak spins beautifully. Love adding opposite aileron and flatting out the spin so it becomes nice and flat.
