Dear Jim,

The Tri-gear was indeed spun, although we didn't record this with video.  The 
behaviour
in spin recovery is much the same as with the mono-wheel.  The Motor
glider also was spin tested.

Hear Hear!  
I don't believe any one (except Van's I'm told) can so what we can. 
Hav'nt seen a video where he shows what it can do safely. Ours is tried
and proven.   A caviot to this,  the tri-gear was not spun, only the
mono-wheel.  So, be careful.  However, loops and rolls seem nice.
