Default RE: Airfoil section stall behaviour

Dick, you went out on the limb and then sawed the tree away on this one...

Camber significantly raises the max lift coefficient that can be reached before a stall occurs. This means that a cambered airfoil can slow down to a lower speed than a symetrical airfoil before the stall occurs for otherwise equal models.
