Models used in free-flight wind tunnel had wing loading and span comparable to those of typical personal light aircraft. Analysis of those models showing good spin recovery characteristics indicated that the minimum value of the tail-damping-power factor should be increased with an increase in the relative density and mass distribution along the wings of the model. Graphs show variation of relative-density factor with wing loading and span and vertical tail design requirements.
