I've been instructing for about 2.5 years and have always done stalls at night with students...
I will continue to teach stalls at night...
What is your opinion?
During flight training with a freight company, we did all the maneuvers in the middle of the night, and in IMC (slow flight, stalls, steep turns, engine failures, what have you). Continue to teach those things at night. If anything, it will only make whoever is in the plane that much better.
*all instrument work should be done at night, in my opinion.
