ASH25 out to kill you?

To me the ASH25 handles just like an ASW20.
Never spun one, but haven't tried in a 20 either.
I have and recovery is quite benign - recovery in 1/4 turn though 300 ft
lower and doing 80 kts from a 45-50 kt thermal turn with zero flaps
(position 3).
I don't know whether this was specific to my early example (s/n 34), but
it twice departed without warning from a 40 degree banked thermal term at
around 45 kts with zero flap selected. I suspect in-thermal turbulence
had a hand in that because the 2nd time it happened, I tried and failed
to provoke a similar departure in late afternoon air after I finished the
task.
