Letting go the controls in a Champ (7AC) would do you no good!
On my first spin the most terrifying thing was the lack of any
stick pressure! (Plus the impression that I was going straight
down at high speed.)  However, upon applying opposite rudder,
having the stick pulled into my gut (I *WAS* scarred) the pull-
out was VERY abrupt.  My instructor strongly suggested that in
future I be more gentle of the air frame on pull-out.
    My ground instructor would do 4 rotations in the Champ before
recovering.  For me, getting into and out of a spin was bad enough.
    My spins were sloppy (it was the only thing I did that made
my instructor sick).
