If you are terrified by the stall characteristic of the Kolb planes I'd strongly suggest you either never park your butt in another airplane, or have an experienced pilot take you up to altitude in most any plane other than a kolb, and do an intentional stall to recalibrate your meter for "terrified".

not terified here,,,, durring flitght testing, i went to altitude and put the mk in to a deep stall and spin... the first time i lost about 1000 ft in 3 full turns. and the second time i tightened it up a bit and only lost (as i remember) 700 to 800 ft. i was impressed with how easy it was to break the spin. in the c 150 i did my spin training in, i had to relax the back pressure and apply opposite rudder, in the mk III only had to relax pressure on the stick and rudder and it fell out of the spin almost instantly.
