This thread has matured from what seemed like a malicious Cirrus-bashing stunt to a decent discussion of what I believe is the best new GA aircraft design in the last twenty years.
The Cirrus Owners and Pilots Association (COPA) offer specific training called CPPP.
At one of these regulat meetings, the Cirrus training instructors from the factory flew down with a Cirrus and a Lancair (Yes Cirrus have one which was traded in against a new SR22), to demonstrate stalling in different configurations for all the present instructors.
Specifically they did the following:
• Full power coordinated/uncoordinated with and without 50%
flaps
• Power off coordinated/uncoordinated with and without 100%
flaps
• Accelerated 30° bank coordinated/uncoordinated

In all cases I think that we can show that the stall characteristics of this aircraft are better than previous designs.
