The stall & wingover (lazy 8) sequence is great - good familiarization over a wide speed range. That is what my dad insisted upon for confidence building for checkout in a new type.

For lightplane pilots - note the turn after the pair of stalls. Bank angle over 45°, pulling close to 2 G's, but the nose is just creeping around the horizon indicating a very large turn radius. A P-51 needs a lot of sky!
