(unless I cock it up when you can tell that you have stalled the wing by the ensuing auto rotation).
So where is the stick when you cock it up and autorotate? certainly if you are not quite vertical and do not put the rudder in you WILL stall with the stick cental.My first inverted spin was a Pitts from a manouver including a stall turn and the stick was only just forward of center. As far as winch launch recovery goes, a long time since I did this but I seem to remember the stick going well forward of center for this and speed a little higher, the point I make is that you certainly CAN get the aircraft to stall with the stick in different places.
