It's is interesting to interpret the underlying psychology of the current training ideas. In the training ethos many years ago, stalling was considered as just another phase of flight and practiced from all sorts of attitudes, with/without flaps, power on/off, in turns etc. Spinning was then the big deal and approached with trepidation. Now spinning is not taught, stalling has become the bogey exercise. Is there a lesson there somewhere that anything which is not practiced much and with the inference that "here be tigers" is actually the problem?
