The Chipmunk, not all, required a correct spin recovery. i.e. Full opposite rudder, centralise the controls, but it was ALWAYS necessary to put the stick FULLY forward before effecting a pull out. This is because it is possible for the aircraft to stay stalled and head for the ground if you don't allow a good speed to build up.

Paulo. The early Robins, Petit Prince, The Regent and so on were virtually unspinable. This was because of the gull wing. A conventional spin therefore being almost impossible. I certainly never got a spin out of one.
