Spin recovery vs tail design
Read the manual for the glider; the spin characteristics were worked out by
a professional test pilo, and the best advice you can get will be in the
operating handbook.

I would like to solicit comments on the question: Compared to a
standard
tail configuration such as a 2-33 or Blanik L-13, does the initiation
and
recovery from a spin vary substantially in T-tail (ASK-21 type),
all-flying (Phoebus) or V-tail (HP series) sailplanes? Really look
forward
to reading and learning.
No significant differences - stick neutral, rudder against direction
of the pin.
Some V-tail gliders require the stick to be pushed fully forward (to
achieve sufficient deflection of the V-tail).
