I've spinned a 172sp(Utility) plenty of times. Of course you must keep the rudder deflected in the direction of the spin as well as hold some aileron in the same direction just to keep the aiplane stalled. As soon as the pressure on both control surfaces are relieved, the spin will stop. Fun Suff!!!
