Indeed, spinning is one of the most dangerous man oeuvres. Combined with the fact that there is little to no benefit from a deliberate spin it's the simplest solution to prohibit it.
Btw I don't get why topic has so many pages. Just read the Pilot's Notes, it's all there:
- exceptional/remarkable light elevator response even at high speed, which is a good thing and a bad thing (risk of high speed stall and blackout/break up the aircraft if pilot is not carefully)
- instability in turns (elevator becomes lighter in turn)
- stall warning/buffeting/buzz (best turn rate is achieved slightly before buffeting)
Now let's look at the current FM and find out if this is represented.
