Here is an interesting/scaring story about spin-testing my RV7-A
My aerobatics instructor took the plane up to do some spin-testing by himself, sitting alone in the left seat.
He returned very enthusiastic about the spin handling and other aerobatic capabilities of the plane.
So there we went. The two of us, me left ( a bit nervous of course) and the instructor right.
I climbed to 6000 feet and he should show me a 2 turn spin first.
Two fast turns then opposite rudder, stick forward………………and then he yelled at me keeping the right stick loose in his hand……….RECOVER!!!!!!!
So I had to do it myself and I mean all by myself.
No problems however and we could have quite a good laugh about it.
Lesson learnt here; we better find a way of securing this passenger stick.

I don't think I would have told that story. It sounds like somebody made a big Quality Assurance mistake.

I purchased a quick pin from West Marine. Be careful to mount it so the
head doesnt interfere with the seat pan.
