Excellent, thanks for that homeguard. Your advice is noted, and I'll run your suggestion past the FI.
He thought we exceeded 30deg AoB as I'd wrongly used aileron to correct... like a plonker! We both agreed I needed to give stalls a rest for an hour or two just to build confidence in other areas (successful so far) before going back and finishing stalls off.
I'm very much a believer in the phrases "get right back on that horse" and "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" (!) and you're right, I must experience it again (with said technique) to become confident in the aircraft & the controls.
Will post back with news on how it goes. Thanks again homie for the suggestion and moral support.
Apologies to others for hijacking.
