Dave,
I agree! When conducting a flight review in, for example, a Cessna, I find
that many folks almost panic when the stall warning horn sounds, even for a
short time. I have flown very few Cessnas that cannot be flown in slow
flight/minimum controllable airspeed with the stall warning horn blaring
continuously. Of course, I do this above 3000 feet AGL. It sure helps to
train pilots in making the shortest landing possible to understand the stall
warning is a warning, not immediate stall. The same thing can be learned in
a Kitfox, but using different cues that the aircraft is NEAR an angle of
attack that could produce a stall.

Was reading the thread about stalls and spins. Last weekend I decided to run the car gas out of my tanks. I leave 100 LL in it over the winter as I may go a couple of months without flying and the av gas does not gum up. It was a pretty windy day, even early in the morning. I was up at about 6000' AGL and decided to see how slow she would fly, and what it would be like goofing around with the ailerons, flaps and rudder down around the stall. I have done stalls before..but not an hours worth at a time. Fact of the matter is it does not really stall if you enter it from straight and level. It is more of a mush. You really have to get the nose up, sort of a whip stall, before it will shudder and try to drop a wing. I actually flew backwards from Burford to Brantford in the process.. a distance of about 10 miles or so. Wind is often our enemy, but it can be a lot of fun if you do not have to go anywhere in particular.
