Default Spinning a Pegase

My Pegase 101's flight manual states that aerobatic maneuvers including
intentional spins are prohibited.

I'm keen to test the behaviour of the glider in a spin and also the spin
recovery procedure.

Is the Pegase really unsuitable for intentional spins, will the wings

fall
off?

The most likely reason is because it may be easy to exceed VNE in the
recovery.

The flight manual describes how to recover from a spin and from what it
says there's no fundamental problem other than exceeding VNE.

Take it to the stall with wing drop stage then recover, that's enough to
see what it looks like and how it recovers. If you unintentionally spin
recover immediately.
