Stik - thanks for that, very interesting. The only time I've inadvertantly stalled an aircraft was at the top of a loop, and I knew I'd stalled because I registered the buffet.....
But I think your reply has confirmed my earlier reply, and that of others: during non-aerobatic flight, the principal way of telling the AoA is by a combination of power and, more importantly, attitude - but that's not true for aerobatic flight.
