Great information and experiences. I'm a light sport student pilot and I've tried to do stalls in both the planes I'm training on, an Evector SportStar and a Flight Design CTSW. In both cases, the closest I can come to a power-off stall is the plane galloping along in a absurdly nose high attitude while gaining and loosing about 20 feet per gallop. I expected something of the thrill level I got when I was flying with a helicopter pilot practicing autorotations. Not even close.
So can anyone say what it's like to stall an airliner?
