Mmm, I realize I should have been more precise with regards to me not doing stalls.
My instructor did them alone, but when we started flying it together we obviously concentrated on circuits, landings etc. I asked for a stall once or twice, but by the time I got to solo-ing etc; plans changed and the engine went from this plane into another; and a new airframe was purchased.
My instructor did point out that he would not be comfortable doing stalls in the home-built kit because he did not "know" the strength of the airframe / wings . I´m not sure about the details……will ask when I´m back.
Now with the new project--> we will definitely be doing stalls!!
