Bee spinning them since they were new in the late 60's in the UK,
certification was/is "semi-aerobatic" and included "spins, loops, stall
turns and steep turn to 3.5 G" the normal European semi-aerobatic
certification. I was required by the examiner to spin one several times,
as part of my most recent instructor renewal check, within the last 12
months.

"Besides" could also mean "except for". Especially since the US type
certificates specifically prohibits spins in the K13. The ambiguity in
the
translation is why I am seeking an original German manual interpretation.
