Thanks Pace, I like your analogy. I did indeed take icy/snow days steady in a car until I had done some advanced driver training and then felt so much more confidence in handling the situation I just reacted rather than feared and that is exactly where I want to get to with the stall.
I'm sure I will always have a healthy regard for the stall situation but I want to be free to react sensibly as I now do in a car rather than tense and try and control fear/panic and react.
