Requesting comments < Pre stall buffet is a few knots to nil. Full stall characteristics vary considerably with entry speed, deceleration and CG. Ailerons are not effective at the lower pre stall speeds. Full stall recovery altitude loss varies between 50 and 600 feet. During my test flights, I decided that the last 1 inch of the recommended CG range was not where I would want to practice stalls. Consequently, the last 1 inch of CG range is resistricted and actually I have found that there is no reason to operate there anyway. Approaching stalls at different deacceleration rates, wing loadings and CGs produce different results. I believe that the post stall behavior can be catorgized as well behaved classic, diving spirals, and spins. The recovery from each is different.
