Default electric and gas spins differently?

I've notice that gas/glow do better spin maneuver than electric. Is this me or is does any one else see it? Cause when i fly my foamy and do a flat spin or knife edge spin it doesnt spin around the prop, and when i see gassers do flat spins the spin like on there cg or around there prop.

cant really compare a foamy to a 20lb+ gasser. like comparing apples to steak.

I think that there may be something to it. I know that there is a big diff. between a 25lb gasser and my electrics but I can spin my 2.6 all day long no problem but my 50"ws fliton aj330 would not enter a spin. It would loose life and go into sort of a harrier where my big stuff will nearly come to a stop and then drop a wing and enter a spin. I have to wonder if it is the prop helping to slow it down but give lift as well whereas an electric the prop stops. Good question
