Maneuvers
Non-repeatable Maneuvers: The maneuver codes of non-repeatable maneuvers are enclosed in brackets (numbers 1, 28, 31, and 36). A non-repeatable maneuver may not be chosen if the previous turn's maneuver was a non-repeatable maneuver.

Damage
Pilot Grazed: Must Do Slower Maneuver Next Turn: The player must choose a maneuver whose fuel/speed number is one less than the maneuver he performed in the current turn; if his current maneuver had a fuel/speed number of 1, his next maneuver must have a fuel/speed number of 1 also.

Target Stalled: Add this value if the target plane performed maneuver number 1 during the movement step.

So you see I have always taken the stall as being a non-repeatable manoeuvre and the omission being that it wasn't stated as such given that there are contradictions within the rules.
But it is a house rule as was stated.
I get that it is a house rule, and there is nothing wrong with house rules to make a game more enjoyable for someone. I just don't get where the Target Stalled passage left room for confusion. Maneuvers numbered 1 are the 1L1/1S1/1R1 at the top of the sheet, and they are the only ones to give the Target Stalled bonus. I'm just having difficulty seeing the "way" you are reading it I guess.
