After last years accident I had a number of long discussions with my
very experience instructor. So one afternoon she suggested we go out
and do everything we had been talking about (at a safe 4000 ft).
Deliberately stalling G-IANI in a 60 degree turn proved to be a non
event in terms of any sort of wing drop or roll. But you do loose a lot
of height VERY quickly.
Later the instructor did the same tests in G-IRON, which is not quite as
well behaved in a straight stall, again with no drama and simple
recovery.
