Spin recovery in the 152--several years ago the NTSB conducted a study of
the spin properties of the 150/152.  One of their conclusions was that the
usual recovery technique, full forward stick, could lead to problems
because the elevator blocked air flow to the rudder.  They recommended a
a very specific technique that involved moving the stick only to neutral,
not all the way forward.  The complete recovery method is a bit more
complex, and I don't remember the details.  Anyone spinning a 150/152
should speak with a knowledgeable instructor, and review the NTSB
recommendations on the 150/152.
