Default RE: Getting A Plane to Stall?

Yes, exactly! Not only does adding that click or so of throttle get you some better authority from the stab & rudder, but it allows you to then get the model into a region that gets it "draggier", so you can bring it to the right point in front of you for the break. It's also more apt to show a decent break and thus more susceptible to entering proper autorotation, because you can generally see the right time to kick the rudder over. You don't want to be in that spot for very long. Don, you might remember that I couldn't do this right when you were sitting in the chair at Winston last October, but I was trying anyway! Usually does work though. I haven't yet tried that slip method yet. Sounds like it might be a good way to save the day on occasion.
