Low altitude stalls are too unpredictable to risk voluntarily contacting the ground in a stall regime. We've had losses of a 1-11 and Trident in vertical fall horizontal attitude stalls, with no survivors. The idea is to keep flying just above stall- 108kts sounds about right! You need to keep attitude control to the end.
I agree with this and just wanted to take it a bit farther with the zero seconds intuition of horriz flight as the primary concern, avoiding stall as the secondary concern and then if you still have a flying machine (you're still in control) some second order considerations like a lot of us are second guessing

Of course I and just about everybody else on this board offers no crticism, but we are willing to learn

I vote for intuition first (that must have been correct) and after that it's worth a "wow"
