Default RE: Tip Stall

ORIGINAL: FLYMAD

Could someone tell me how to tell the difference between an asymmetric stall and a tip stall. What are the visible differences.
In an asymmetric stall (stall developing from the root) the wing will drop and a spin may develop if no correction is made.

In an asymmetric stall (stall developing from the tip) the wing will drop and a spin may develop if no correction is made... much more violently and quickly.

In an asymmetric stall (stall developing from the root) aileron (gentle) will at least reduce the roll and may be sufficient to prevent the wing drop.

In an asymmetric stall (stall developing from the tip) aileron will make the wing drop worse.... much worse.

Flymad you're post said 'in reply to... me' in the bottom right hand corner, which is why I wondered.
