I'm puzzled by that - how did it get an Airworthiness Certificate?
OK - I'm a simple controller with a lapsed PPL but as I understand things any aircraft will spin if placed into the appropriate circumstances. Those that are not cleared for spinning simply cannot be recovered using commonly available techniques and so for certification it is declared as not-spinable....just as a PA28 is not certified for flight at 300kts, because it will probably fall apart.
