That is my question.

Lack of familiarity with stall and recovery characteristics coupled with the inability to fly your airplane well at a high angle of attack might be very hazardous to your health. A turn back to the airfield following an engine failure should be a piece of cake if you have the energy and know how to keep the ball in the middle. Train, practice and learn to fly your airplane. Let's stop paving America with them. Bill Kennedy
