Many swept wing aircraft and early high performance aircraft w= ith high wing loadings were flown with the admonition "Never stall this a= irplane." It is not something new.

My instructor who was a national aerobatic champion, flew a Lancair = IV around the world and drives Airbus products said words to the eff= ect "One should never be surprised when an aircraft stalls, benign behavi= or or otherwise. It means you have not been paying attention. With = this aircraft and many others, particularly jet aircraft, you need to alw= ays pay attention to airspeed."

Pay attention to airspeed and stalls are not an issue.
