I have always entered spins through a misapplication of the controls.
Various models differ in the amount of misuse they'll tolerate. For
example, a Lark IS-28 will spin if you stick your hand out the clear
view in a left turning stall (only a slight exageration).

I must mildly object to this general characterization of the Lark, although
it's possible that they vary considerably from one IS28 to another. I have
never flown one that behaves as you describe.

The IS28B2 that I just sold (SN 102) behaved more or less as you described
the behavior of the Ventus 2bx. As such, I think of the Lark as a wonderful
advanced trainer for pilots making the transition to glass. My time in the
Lark made my first Nimbus flights very comfortable.
