It is worth noting that many Europas in the stall (especially flaps down) will drop a wing.
Some power pilots try to correct this with aileron which stalls the wing further to a point where a spin is inevitable. Thereafter if the correct recovery action (ie: full opposite rudder) isnt taken the aircraft may enter into a spiral dive.
My initial flying was in gliders where spin training was mandatory, so it never really bothered me.
When I did my PPL my instructor mentioned that spin training wasnt compulsory but never the less, demonstrated several spins (in a Tomahawk !!!) and then a spiral dive to show me the difference.
