Default Spin recovery vs tail design

To answer your question: Outside aileron often flattens the spin because
it increases the drag on the inner wing, this accelerates the rotation,
which increases the centrifugal forces and therefore flattens the spin.
The consequence is twofold: The angular momentum increases while the
rudder becomes less effective to the point that the rotation cannot be
stopped anymore.
