My last dual flight before solo in a K13, Lasham, 1990 - instructor pulled off the winch launch early, 900 feet, but told me to keep the nose up into a stall, then bank to the left, which precipitated a spin - normal spin recovery, lost 400 feet with just over 1 revolution, so about 600 feet when recovered, just right for a normal circuit. He cleared me to solo after that.
