I soloed in a Cessna 150 and used full (40 degree) flaps for all 3 landings. 
I came in high the first 2 times and confidently slipped the plane to get down,
he then pointed out that if a stall occurred while the plane was crossed up

in a slip, it would immediately roll inverted into a spin with no chance for 
recovery. He said cross control spin entries were possible for gliders too
when approaching a landing, Isuppose because of the slow control response.

I did get some spin training in a 152 after I got my license and I enjoyed it
but I don't think the 152 is the plane to experiment with- it isn't
designed to spin routinely, I was told.
