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, though finding a CFI and parachutes may lead to considering training in an instructor's aircraft.
Aircraft placarded against intentional spins should be heeded, as their certification only confirms recovery from a one-turn spin, not a fully developed or stabilized spin.
The FAA warns that there is "absolutely no assurance whatever that recovery from a fully developed spin is possible" in airplanes placarded against them, indicating potential uncontrollability.
