Default Spin recovery vs tail design

Center of Gravity is critically important when considering spin

C of G ist critical for spin entry, but for recovering from a sustained
spin, mass distribution is far more important. (The rudder force must
overcome the angular momentum.)

Of course, C of G and mass distribution are somehow related.
