I have sometimes been with pilots in their LAA aircraft for the one hour with instructor and say to them lets do some stalls.
Usual reply is, they have never stalled the aircraft.
So i ask them, well how do you know what a safe airspeed is on the approach and landing.
Often they say the previous owner said fly it at a certain (too fast) speed.

Lets face it, if a stall and wing drop occurs, the first thing a pilot will do is probably full opposite aileron.
It will never happen in a clinical practise way.
