I have to agree. Thanks for not taking this seriously.
My next experiment is testing the compatibility of propwash mixed with hogwash.

Had this posted on the Misnomer thread and got no response.
Why is it called a tip stall?
Would you preferwe call it "the farthest point of the wing from the center stopped flying and dropped towards the earth in a unexpected and violent maneuver that usually leads to vulgar language and questions of channels and glitches".
Does anyone actually believe that the wing dipped toward the earth because the tip stalled?
It dipped towards the earth bacause the earth was there. Perhaps it was really dipping towards Pluto and the Earth was just in the way.
If the tip is holding the wing level then why bother with the rest of the wing?
I tried to make a plane with only wing tips, I was real proud. I took it to the field when I went to set it up the tips kept falling on the ground.
Is the wing just something to keep the tips away from the fuselage?
No it also holds the tips off the ground (see above)
Lastly, what was the wing doing while the tip was stalling, was it yelling at the tip to stop stalling or just sitting there in the breeze waiting for the inevitable to happen?
I think it had something stuck between it's gear, and was trying to pick it out. Didn't even notice the tip stall until just prior to impact.
Absolutely the most brilliant post I've seen on this site...ever.
