[Wing] Spin Testing: RV-6/6A or RV-7/7A

[Alan Cornyn]

Van strongly reccommends not ever spinning an RV-6.  He said he only did it
once and hired someone else to do the testing.  They spin at an icreadble
rate of speed, but they do recover using usual technique.  He has said this
more than once in the RVator.   Al  RV-6 flying 400 hours.
