Hi Bill - My 360 stalls at 60 knots dirty.  Like you said, you'd have to be dead to miss the signals.  My plane's signals are mushy controls, wobbly roll stability and a little buffet.  It will drop a wing depending on which side the ball rolled to.  Rudder is the only way to center the ball, and I've found the rudder will pick the wing back up.  But, it's tough keeping the ball centered.  After a wing drop, I've never let it roll over past 60 degrees.  Meanwhile the gear minder is screaming (if the gear's up), and the angle of attack system is blaring.  With all the racket, and the feel of the plane, I'm just not tempted to spend any time in that part of the flight envelope.  The angle of attack system puts me between 85 and 90 knots depending on loading, in the pattern, and I never go below 80 until into the flair.  I've never had a hint of a problem carrying enough energy to flair to touch down.
