BTW.
Much higher up this thread avoiding stalls was advocated. True, BUT.....
Every year at least, Permit renewal (UK) requires stall characteristics, hence a real stall, to be done.
Makes sense to me, regularly done every now & then as a check on what the ASI says at these critically low velocities.
Worth doing with pax & loaded too - at plenty of height.
Spin off the final two turns on landing ?
I watch the speedo like a hawk and get on one stage of flap before then, mostly slowed down to flap speed at the latter part of downwind. On my Rans that reduces stall by ~3 to 4 mph, all very useful for the last bit !
