Stalling or spinning at low altitude and low speed is one thing that scares me for sure.

The trick, I guess, is to recognise the symptoms before the stall actually happens. I'm just a stude myself but I believe I have a pretty good feel for this and I attribute this to quite a bit of time in gliders (albeit always dual) where they sometimes fly very near to the stall for long periods of time and where stall and spin recovery can be practiced for significantly less money than in powered trainer aircraft.

Recovery with an engine is a little different but the onset of a stall seems similar in the aircraft I have flown up to now.
