HI

    I hope you get a good checkout in your airplane and if you know
about Part 121 or Part 25 airplanes, you would realize that the FAA has
determined that after acquiring many ratings and an ATP you are very
familiar with a stall and they allow more practice in the simulator and
less (sometimes none) in the airplane.  But you have to do stalls in the
simulator! This is even for these highly experienced and proficient
pilots.  Maybe you are more skilled or proficient but I feel that
intelligence would require that you listen to experienced instructors
familiar in high performance airplanes.  Practice may  not make you
perfect but it will make you smoother and more capable in your airplane.

   I gave a check out in a Queen Air once and had a big argument with
the new owner about just this kind of training and told him we would do
it or he could find someone else to sign his logbook.  I finished the
checkout.  Six months later I got a letter from him thanking me for the
diligence.  He felt that the training saved his life in an incident that
occurred shortly after takeoff..

  Frequently the student does not have enough knowledge to know, what is
the proper training syllabus or checkout maneuvers.
