Spin recovery (certainly not to be confused with SSR) varies depending on origin and age of the airframe. French-built examples cite stick held fully aft in the spin recovery to minimise altitude loss. Recent NZ-built examples cite stick forward (to neutral or just "forward" - can't remember) to give a more classic training-oriented spin recovery. I have seen flight manuals giving different recovery advice in different sections of the manual!

In my experience the aircraft recovers readily regardless of which technique is used, provided throttle is fully closed and ailerons neutral. A pleasant basic aerobatic aircraft with predictable characteristics.
