Let me tell you, the split second I felt the yoke start to vibrate, I went to full power and flew that sucker out of the shaker envelope. Managed not to lose a foot of altitude either.
I congratulate you on your accomplishment however, at a recent seminar a prominent test pilot argued that the emphasis on NOT LOSING (or loosing to use internet verbs) any altitude was killing people. The emphasis should be on breaking the stall. Yes, we want to lose minimum altitude but augur in from 1500ft AGL like Colgan?

From my perspective that has to come from training emphasizing the WRONG thing.
