The first iteration of the ASW-20 (there never was an "a" model as such) had a very aggressive flap setting, known by many of us as the "Jesus flap". That's what you said the first time you deployed it - lots and lots of drag, big change in attitude and no extra lift. I believe that most early spin accidents with the ASW-20 resulted from the combination of rearward CG plus early deployment of full landing flap in the pattern followed by a stall/spin on turning.

Err... probably not.
The 20 is extremely tame in landing flap setting (4 and 5) due to its
extreme wing twist (both ailerons actually go up).

The only flap setting where it enters a spin is 4, the thermalling
setting.
