In all cases
I've been taught to check forward positively and then go to full power to
get airspeed and pitch back up ASAP. Of course you need to put in rudder
at the same time to control a potential wing drop developing. Now I know
you did not stall just when the horn went off, but a weak response in a
real stall could fail the PPL (I've been told). Is this a microlight
difference? Do you do wing drop stalls?

Hi Mark. The Gazelle is such docile a/c, that it does not drop a wing when
stalling. We are yet to cover advanced stalls, but my instructor said we'd
'try' to get it to drop a wing to do the lesson.

Hi Oz, I'll _bet_ it will drop a wing fast if you have power on and
full left rudder (you probably shouldn't do this as it may be way too
violent -just a little left rudder should be enough), but you have to
stall -not just take it to the point where the stall warning goes
off. But, do you actually stall or only just slow to near Vs -your
description did not sound like a full stall?
