Although, if you can get a twin to get loss of directional control before the stall horn goes off (with or without bank) in Sanford, FL, you're doing something I've never seen. I didn't see the nose actually swing to either direction until I got to Texas, and that's because it was a little chilly. The heat and humidity in FL tend to cause the planes to get a stall warning before Vmc. Most of the time it's "Okay, stop adding rudder at 80 kts" during a Vmc demo. I was also taught to kick in the 3-5 degrees of bank during the demo as well. If they want to see that you can recognize loss of directional control, every instructor I've had either says to stop adding rudder at X airspeed or they block the rudders on their side. Other than that, the required recovery is either loss of directional control or first indication of stall, whichever occurs first.
