Thanks, PC. It's good to know its not common of the type. I'm going to ask my guys to pull the whole rigging, and slats apart, clean, relubricate etc. I have stalled the aircraft and the stall characteristics were very benign.
Thanks for your input. I've just bought the plane and only put a few hours on her. Out of interest, did you often conduct stall training in the approach configuration?
Best,
