Sure - what I was getting at was that the design should not, for example, suffer an aggressive wing-down tendency once stalled. Your description is more precise than mine.

My information regarding the flight testing regime is a little vague in respect to precisely how far stall testing went, and does not specify whether going beyond the stall boundary was performed or not. If you have better info, it's all good.
