I haven't read all 42 postings so perhaps someone has already said this,
but my understanding is that the 20 is very reluctant to spin, except in
landing configuration, ie flaps and wheel down. However in 4 years of
flying one, nearly always at 16.6 meters, it never once attempted an
inadvertant spin entry.

My understanding and experience with my ASW 20C is it is very spin
resistant in the landing configuration, i.e., LANDING flaps selected and
wheel down. That's because the ailerons move up to a negative position,
giving the wing a lot of wash-out.
