Default RE: A bone of contention =

I once tufted the right wing of my Cherokee and a high school student (for a science project) took videos of the wing through the window while I flew through various maneuvers including stalls. It is really neat to watch the stall begin near the inboard rear part of the wing and progress outward as the angle of attack is increased. It is not uncommon for a yaw string to be attached to the nose dome of a twin during engine out training to demonstrate using a bank in the direction of the good engine to control sideslip.

It would be difficult on a model to see enough to be meaningful unless maybe you taped the flight and could review it later in a more leisurely fashion.
