 Bill,
    My 235 has similiar spin chacteristics--Bad..  Tell your CFI you wish to
at least get 6000 ft over terrain before attempting a full stall.  Usually an
approach to stall and then holding it level, while a 2000 ft/min descent
developes is sufficient.  Stall to a spin is quick and violent if you're not
prepared, a lot of rudder authority with the big tail helps....Spin training
is a more docile A/C is the way to go, in my opinion ....Don Skeele N320J
