Some very high time, well experienced professional pilots have given you sage advice. I strongly recommend you heed it. Additonally, your advice runs contrary to FAA policy. However, you are free to do as you choose-- just don''t expect a flight instructor to sign off your flight review without performing a recovering from a stall. Three fatal accidents in the last 18 months in Lancairs appear to be as the result of a stall. None of the pilots flying appeared to be practicing stalls. Each accident occurred shortly after takeoff with a possible engine malfunction, followed by a stall and loss of control. One was an ES recently, one a LIVP and one a 300 series in Illinois. So much for knowing the magic "stall speed" number and avoiding it "theory". Good luck in your flying endeavours. Jeff Edwards
