When I first got my Forney, I went up with an instructor and did a full stall. We had to enter the maneuver with some airspeed, and get to a pretty nose-high attitude (felt like about 45 degrees). It did stall, and broke straight ahead with very little rudder input (I have pedals). It only went down to a roughly level attitude, then started mushing, even though I held the yoke full back. I also tried pulling the yoke all the way aft with crossed controls. The plane entered a gentle turn, and the ailerons got pretty mushy, but it wasn't at all scary.
