If your purpose is International Aerobatic Club competition, you don't
need to do it for that either. According to the FAI catalog of
aerobatic figures, there is no spin allowed to be done with greater
than 2 turns. For unknown flights at the unlimited level, the max is
1.5 turns.

So I would modify what you say above to say, "you shouldn't spin more
than 2 turns unless you are practicing to be a test pilot."

Be safe,
Klein
