Vivian I've been able to get out of /most/ stalls and spins, given enough altitude, but it's vital to ensure that the trims are centered, which is not likely to be the case if you've been using an autopilot.

Regarding popups, I don't generally object to popups but I think there always should be the possibility to control an instrument without having to use popups.

I personally dont care for it myself, but it made testing much easier I might as well try to fix as much as I can while I'm on a roll :). I vote to put the clickable regions directly on the panel.
