I had this very convincingly demonstrated to me in a Cessna 150, where my instructors way of getting into a spin was to enter a 30 degree banked turn at low power (i.e. final turn setting). As instructed, I held the altitude while banked and with insufficient airspeed and then it flicked into a spin with the higher wing dropping. A good lesson - spinning in from final turn is a killer.
