Not really moreflaps. In a spin the yaw comes from one wing being further back up the drag curve (more deeply stalled) than the other. If everything is flying, that doesn't happen.

It really is that simple: In order for bad stuff to happen, you must be stalled. Remove the back stick (e.g. let go), you're not stalled anymore - Quickly and promptly remove the AOA, then sort it all out. You might guess I don't particularly hold with the idea of powering out of a stall either

A wing drop does not require a spin recovery. Personally I'd be looking for something like 180+ of heading change before even thinking about spin recoveries. Being cautious of spins is good, but I do wonder if most folks consider anything beyond 30deg bank to be an incipient spin (a term I hate.. you're spinning or you're not!)
