I'm sure you remember the old story about how the very first spin recovery was achieved?
I've a feeling it wasn't an intended recovery but an attempted escape, something about the pilot entering the spin and being pinned to the side of the cockpit, put in opposite rudder to release himself and the plane recovered for a go around and landing?

Can't remember the guys name but read about it many years ago.


PS thanks for your input NoD as a newbie to spins I **could** have fallen into the trap of thinking I was learning a standard technique for recovery, seems though loosely one does exist, one would be wise to consult the POH before considering spinning.
