You might be able to do spin training in your own airplane. The first thing to check is whether its placarded against intentional spins, as depicted above. If not, you may still need to find a CFI willing to spin your airplane, plus a couple of parachutes. It may be easier and cheaper to simply find the local spin instructor and sign up for the training in his or her airplane.
Spin training in your own airplane is possible if it's not placarded against intentional spins, but may still require a CFI and parachutes, often making it easier and cheaper to train in an instructor's aircraft.
Airplanes placarded against intentional spins were only tested for recovery from a one-turn spin, not fully developed spins.
The FAA cautions that there is no assurance of recovery from a fully developed spin in placarded airplanes, and they may become uncontrollable if a spin progresses beyond a single turn.
