Choxolate, well done on handling your flight sans ASI! But guys reading this, although it is nice to have a functioning ASI, don't panic if you forgot to remove the pitot cover. Fly by attitude, and when high enough, check the stalling speed just to be sure you know the feel of the approaching stall. The attitude should give you feedback enough to approach safely.

If in a glider you can also judge your airspeed by the airflow noise. The approach to the stall will remind you of how it should sound at the correct airspeed.
