Ercoupes don't spin, either.

When you give a lesson in meanness to a critter or a person, don't be
surprised if they learn their lesson.

Only the canard planes (mainly Rutan designs) won't spin. If you don't know
how to recover the KR, you have a reasonable chance of becoming one of the
statistics of those who die due to a low altitude spin. A few jets (T-38)
aren't spun because they flame out almost immediately, so the only recourse
is to punch out after 1.5 turns. The KR2 or S do not fall in either of
these categories. Nor is either model close to the short coupling of the
famed GeeBee of the 30's which made spin recovery nearly impossible.
