I have to second what John.T has said. Deliberate spinning puts quite large, and often hard to predict stresses on the airframe (and especially the engine). This is taken into account during the design process but, unless you've had good sight of the certification reports, there are large risks associated with spinning an aircraft not designed for it, particularly with power selectied. They are not necessarily the relatively easy to understand risk of not recovering.
