I found another article about the Beggs (hands-off-the-stick) spin
recovery technique.  It points out that this technique is intended for
certain types of aerobatic airplanes only, and has not been tested for
others.  In particular, it quoted someone from NASA who suggested that
the typical high-wing spinnable Cessna would take significantly longer
(4 turns instead of 1 or so) to recover from a spin using the Beggs
technique instead of the standard wheel-forward recovery method.
