I was a bit worried at first, thinking that stalling was like on computer games - Going straight up then plumeting towards the ground with the altimiter spining round and round and round - but its nothing like that. Depending on the a/c your flying - the nose attitude wont even be all that high either. I assume that youll be doing basic stalls so youll hopefully come back, wonder why you were so concerend and then be over confident when it comes to wing drop stalls like I was - then S$#*! yourself not expecting to be in the attitude your in - but youll find out soon enough 
Through interst - what are you flying - I did stalls in a Tomahawk and wing drop stalls in the 172.
All the best anyway!!!

I'm flying the PA-28 Warrior, It's a great aircraft to learn in (for me anyway).
Went for my lesson yesterday and after all this fuss didn't do stalling after all !
However I did perform my first take off....Brilliant....Almost completed a landing aswell, the instructer took control over the threshold.
Stalling is coming up DEFINATELY next, so I told my instructer of my concerns and like you guys he said it's nothing to worry about and once completed my confidence in the aircraft will increase.
What'the weather like in New Zealand... it's great here at the moment but virtually no horizon....too hazy!
see ya

Kiwi_boy, you should have done wing drop stalls in a Tomahawk, can be extremely quick . . , not far off a spin entry Some people hate that aeroplane but I really like it, it's very "hands on"!
Thanks for your link re: New Zealand aviation on the other thread, by the way. That's a nice site, I shall look into it.
Cloudwatcher, well done on the t/o and landing! Let us know what you think when you've done your stalling, I'm sure you'll find it refreshingly un-worrysome. Enjoy!
