Re spins:

I agree with John. The c of g for utility operations has to be observed
in the Cherokee 140: there have been 140 accidents where pilots spun
the airplane with the c of g too far aft, rendering the spin
unrecoverable. But then, most any airplane will be unrecoverable in a
spin if the c of g is too far aft.

With the c of g in the proper place, the airplane is reluctant to spin,
and will usually fly itself out of one if you just let go of the
controls.

Don't spin it.

I spin mine on a regular basis. With proper technique and attention
to W&B, it's not much different than spinning a 152 or 172.
