Default RE: How do I enter a spin?

Well I have kept trying to spin the CAP 232 in my G2 lite, still without sucess. The closest I came was to add rudder in the direction of a wing drop during a stall. That one looked like a real spin for a while. Pro spin ailerons are just producing a tight spiral and as soon as I take the ailerons out the motion stops. Cross controlling has also not produced any good results, which is what I expected. Also, I can only get 1/2 a inside snap roll out of it. As soon as it goes inverted, It comes out of the stall and stops the roll. Maybe my CG is too far forward. There does not seem to be enough elevator authority to start an outside snap.

I guess there are basically 3 posibilities

1. My CG is too far forward
2. The flight model of G2 lite do not support these maneuvers.
3. I do not know what I'm doing.

Seeing that I am a full size pilot but with extremely limited RC experience, I think #3 is the most likely posibility. From what I have tried, it is definitely easier to spin the full size article.
