 [LML] So Has Anybody Fully Stalled These Things?

On my test flight of the
factory Legacy I asked to do stalls, Grant was
 the Demo pilot.
 I elected to try a power on stall first. This is when the airplane
 had the turbo normalized 4 cly. motor(engine).
 I was in the right seat trying to scan guages on the left so
 it is tough to say exactly what happened.
 It did not want to stall and I believe Grant backed off the power
 When it did stall the right wing dropped  quickly. We just flew
 out of it with less than 500 feet lost. I say we because I don't
 know how much Grant helped with the recovery.
 A few months later a friend took a test ride, again with Grant.
 He was told they did not do stalls on test rides.
 Later at my build shop I asked Orin (I think) about that
 and he said he would do the ride again and stalls would
 be fine (in somewhat more colorful language). We never
 took him up on that.
