If stalls scare you, then go get some dual time,... doing a bunch of stalls and slow flight,... in whatever you are flying until they don't scare you.

Without trying to threadjack,... for those of you that bought one, why did you get the 162? Other LSA offerings seem to offer so much more in terms of useful load, roominess, etc...
I have access to a few 172SPs with the g1000, and a/c but time building would be a little steeper in those(155 an hour). I am not afraid of stalls i just have not meet any one who has flown one, so i wasnt sure how it reacts. I live in north Texas its windy most the time, so i figure it would be alot of foot work.
