I beg to differ.  I've done up to 12 turns in C-150's (could have been
a 152, it's been a long time), no trouble at all.

Back when I was learning, I asked my instructor to teach me spins
(this was in 150's).  Not just "demonstrating", he had me doing 3 turn
spins and recoveries myself... and told me (with a smile, knowing that
the 17 year old kid I was would do whatever I damm well pleased) not
to do them solo.

Did 20 turns once in my T-Craft... and on another occasion spun the
T-Craft down through an overcast when I got stuck on top ('bout 8
turns as I recall).
