Practice stalls on your own?

Ron: No fear of stalls here, I have done them myself and have even
taken a few hours of acrobatics including loops, rolls and spins.

I was just curious what the general outlook on doing them on purpose
was from the general pilot community and from the flight instructors on
here.

Well, I, for one, don't see stalls as a big deal. I would not categorize
"practicing stalls" as any different from practicing steep turns, slow
flight, unusual attitude recovery, short field takeoffs and landings, soft
field takeoff and landings, or any of the other maneuvers that we
occasionally use.

Flight without an occasional stall or six, sucks. I have done them with
abandon starting soon as my instructor years ago gave me the go ahead.

Slow flight right on the edge, maybe falling off every once and a while, is the best practice. Do it in the wind, do it
when it's rough, do it at night. Know it....
