I remember in the old days, when I thought a Piper Colt was a real airplane. The Colt had a published stall speed, but when learning to fly in it, we couldn't get a power off stall. Pull as I might, the plane would rear back, and then settle down in to a normal (level) attitude. No ups or downs. A quick look at the rate of climb, and I realized we were doing 2,000 fpm down. About the same speed as a 1200 lb rock. Anyway, after playing with it, we realized that if we held full power and did the same thing, it would break rapidly and the left wing would dip. If unchecked, it would have gone into a full spin. I guess my point here is that if you try hard enough, you can most likely fine some configuration that will cause a real stall. Fact of the matter is that I didn't like a stall then, and now in my older genteeler days, I'd like one even less. So, I think I'll just let the thing fly and forget trying to find the final answer to this 'stall/no stall' debate.
