The aircraft will NEVER stall by itself..... A stall will never just Happen to you.. It is a result of what you are doing wtih the elevator. any aircraft will stall if you apply too much elevator..
Depending on a number of factors (control throw, CofG, wing shape, elevator size etc) the elevator position for the stall may be 30% deflection or it may be 90% deflection, but for a given aircraft, and without changing the CofG, the elevator position will always be the same .
The tapered wings will usually stall at the tips first,
When I hear people say.. "The plane just stalled on me, the true answer is.. NO.. you stalled the airplane by using too much elevator... you just may not have realised you were doing it"
Don't disagree. But if you had read before you pounced you would have seen my comment that Iwas practicing low powder flight to
see what it would do beforeand afterentering a stall. Most models don' t come with a pilots operating handbook behind the seat stating the stall speed so you have to find out emperically. To do that you reduce throttle and maintain altitude with elevator. This isn't my first rodeo, either.
