    I think the main rationale was to come up with a Primary sequence that had no downwind loop/half cuban and there wasn't an easy way to do that and keep the spin. Altitude loss from the spin may have...

    I'd echo Wes' comment. Flying a stock S-2B I've definitely had the feeling I'm having to work harder than I would in a monster monoplane but against that
