Default Spin recovery vs tail design

I've never tried this, but I have wondered whether adding downward
deflected aileron on the outside wing during a spin might 1) add drag that
would slow the rotation, stall that wing and further reduce the asymmetric
lift, and thus aid in stopping the spin.


Spins are aerodynamically extremely complex and each aircraft type
reacts differently.
