lost lift in a turn.....sounds like a stall....you can stall at any speed......
when you're new to flying you have to be careful with the angle of bank.....and then if you throw in the rudder.....you're usually into uncontrolled flight before you know what happened.....if you go into a downward sprial (sprail of death) and just add elevator to try and pull out...that just makes it worse......hopefully you'll have enough altitude to stop the spin with opposite aileron or rudder before adding elevator to pull out....
Thanx for your service
Yea, Im sure it was a stall but I want to blame other factors like the alignment of the stars or something I cant control. I was flying the plane very well for not having any training. I just took it to a local High school. Im sure this time around Ill go to an actual AMA field with a trainer ARF while im building my second plane from a kit.
