Keywords: spin, recovery, wind tunnel testing, dynamically-scaled model

In the presented paper, the developed technique of spin performance testing in a horizontal wind tunnel is introduced. This technique demonstrates a substantial reduction in time and budget required for spin research, together with a significant simplification of the overall spin test process and experimental hardware.
