This question is for the more experienced pilots. Have you taken your 701 into
a deep power off stall? Some aircraft will eventually enter a spin but others
will continue to buffet, fall and rebuffed over and over (with the ball centered
of course). What has been your experience? I am in the test flight stage of
my airplane and dont want to get to deep in before I have a feel for what will
happen next.

Mine is very dossal and it doesn't really stall. No buffet of any kind, it
just loses speed and the vertical speed increases --it remains controllable.
Absolutely nothing violent, weird or unexpected.

Ditto ditto with mine.
I also notice that you still have some aileron authority without going into
a spin; but I never tried using much aileron as this is a no-no in a stall.

Mine does exactly the same as Gordon's. Airspeed decreases, it responds
sluggishly, but just sits there, no buffet, no nose drop and if you watch
the VSI it increases to 3 - 400 fpm holding the stick all the way back.
I keep the ball centered, so I don't know if it would drop a wing with
uncoordinated flight or not. I'd expect it would a bit, but for what its
worth the fellow in Oshkosh last year (from Cal) told the crowd it is almost
unspinnable. Its really safe, anyway! If its performing and responding
to control inputs normally, I wouldn't fear a deeper stall. As JG calls it,
"Nibble at it" at first, then work harder at it.
