Default RE: Delta gurus I have a question

Wow this is turning out to be a great discussion where do I start.

I have experieced a similar problem with deltas, particularly in a steep turn (like when turning around to come back to the flight line, or on a down line pulling out) when more elevator causes a control surface stall or high speed stall and the plane just "pushes" out or tip stalls and becomes very unstable. In the sim I found out that a lot of rudder and a little bit of aileron/elevator input made high speed turns much more stable. On that particular aiplane there was no solution for downline pullouts except lots of altitude. BTW I believe the model in the sim is of a coro delta if that helps clarify anything.

So do I take from this discussion that some of you guys are using rudder to make standard turns?

Can we start some discussion on which deltas play nice and which ones don't based on your experience?
