Read more carefully. I didn't write anything about trying a recovery

I know - what i wanted to say is that the rotation isn't going to slow
down significantly in many gliders if you keep the elevator pulled up.

Not to mention that a significant forward elevator is going to induce
some serious negative G once the glider snapped out of the spin.
