Returning to the specifics of stalling in the GA community I really do wish that QFIs did demo the gentle and very easy flight test approach before putting students through the 'close the throttle fly level and recover when it stalls' manoeuvre. In my view the latter can result in quite an off-putting experience for a low hour student.
I'll second that.
On my first experience of a demonstrated stall, we got an incipient spin and it made me nervous of stalling for quite a few hours afterwards.
