Flying Slow

I do that a lot. I have a Tripacer and it flies slow really well. I can pin
the airspeed indicator and still be in very controllable flight. I like to
do that on my motorcycle, too. In fact, there are slow races on motorcycles
where the LAST one over the finish line without touching their feet is the
winner. These are much more difficult than the fast races. Anybody can go
fast, and anybody can fly fast (up to a point). I also like to go out on
fairly windy days and get faced into the wind, turn on the GPS and see how
low a ground speed I can get. I've gotten into the low 30's, but I know I
can do better.

Have you ever really taken your aircraft to the bottom edges of its
flight ability and airspeed, and flown it with any degree of precision
and of more than just a few moments/minutes? Are you comfortable doing
it on the edge or nibble of a stall? Can you do it while holding
altitude and desired headings within reasonable limits - depending on
your experience?
