Spinning a 337

Someone once told me that 337s are a little unforgiving in a spin. Any truth to that? This story seems to come from O2 days when the legend goes that the pilot, when identifying a target, would max climb away towards the sun, and at stall speed kick over with rudder and come back at the target, now with the sun at his tail. The one recounting this tale claimed that the military forbid the practice after several ships and pilots were lost from the resulting spin.

Please tell me it ain't so.

Ken
