The answer is simple: Stall with a wing drop the first
action is to reduce the AoA, move the stick forward
to unstall the wing.
The action for a spin is: opposite rudder (to stop
the yaw/rotation) and then move the stick progressively
forward to unstall the wing. The recovery from there
is the same.


Of course. But how far does the wing have to drop - how much does the
glider have to roll at the stall - before you take spin recovery
action rather than stall with wing drop recovery action?

In real life, on the final turn, you have approximately 0.3 seconds to
answer this question ...

Has anyone mentioned the yaw string on these wide birds? What's it doing
during incipient diving vs. spinning?
