Just a comment, since it seems a lot of people on the list avoid practice stalls and have never done one.
 
Before I bought N360P in 2000 I flew 5 hours with the previous owner, and did clean and dirty approach stalls, about 4000 AGL.
 
The airplane stalls at 68KIAS clean or dirty. This particular airplane will stall straight ahead if the rudder is exactly neutral. Be off a hair and it will drop a wing. I held it in the stall for about 15 seconds, and constantly corrected for wing dips with small rudder movements, and the result was constant wing waggling, but always under control. Pretty nerve-wracking, like walking a tightrope.
 
Your airplane will certainly be different.
