Amen, Bill.  And for those L-pilots ... the wing stalls at a fixed angle of attack, not at any specific airspeed.  And without a stall, no spin. Since air is invisible, you NEED an accurate wind-to-wing indicator, to SEE how many degrees you(r elevator) is holding the wing below that angle.  The Navy put AOAs in all carrier-based aircraft starting in 1956, and cut landing accidents FIFTY PERCENT the first year.

One other comment: Turning back doesn't equate to dying, stalling and spinning does. Do you know how to avoid stall/spin? Lots of Lancair pilots obviously
