I can imagine the problem resides in a refusal of the plane to drop
its nose properly and build airspeed when one wing is more deeply
stalled than the other. I'd guess a tendency to be too flat in the
spin and adding more rudder is not the solution. One thing that stops
yaw increasing is body section and the center of aerodynamic
resistance as the spin progresses. It may be that the skinny aft
section and a lack of boxiness to increase drag for yaw (and a low
inertial nose) makes things worse in that regard. As yaw rate
increases the spin starts to flatten...
My 2c.
