Default Is every touchdown a stall?

If you can't stall it, you can't spin it.
It also had the rudder connected to the aileron controls, so you "steer"
it like a car. If I recall correctly, it had no rudder pedals.


Depends on the year and manufacturer.


It's not so much the linked ailerons and rudders that made it hard
to spin, it's the fact you don't have enough elevator authority to
stall it.


Yes. And that was also the thing that hurt short field performance the
most.

Still, you gotta like the Ercoupe, it being so cute and all.
