My two cents worth:

1)  Make sure you know YOUR airplane's stall characteristics.  These
experimental airplanes don't come with the
safe-and-recoverable-stall-characteristics "guarantee" provided by FAA
certification.  Your airplane may stall straight, or flip over immediately.  
You won't know until you try.  Consequently...

2)  Get an experienced Lancair test pilot to stall yours for the first time.  
Feel free to ride along, so that you can ....

3)  Know how to recover from a stall in YOUR airplane.  And once you know
that...

4)  Avoid stalling it unintentionally.

I hope we can all agree on (at least) the above.  

You can find me at the "pitch vs. power" table at the Lancair dinner this
summer...
