Be aware that at least one of the modern designs (Evector Sportstar) has very bland stalling behaviour, it sort of mushes down in a power off stall with some aileron authority, very safe indeed.

This lead one young instructor to enough overconfidence in this "mild" behaviour to really stuff it up. The result was a spin to the left followed by one to the right as he tried to recover it.

Be very careful of guys who say "This aircraft can't bite you! Watch this!". Don't ever poke the lion with the stick - superior airmanship and all that.
