I do fly full size regularly, from gliders and biplanes to jet fighters. I do have some idea what I am talking about!

Hi Harry,
Well, yes. But how many full size aircraft 'from gliders and biplanes to jet fighters' have the same tendency to do what we all see every day we go flying model aircraft? That of tip stalling into the ground?
Not many (I hope!!)
Beginners should have it in the back of their minds, at least, that changing the shape of the wing, by applying ailerons, can be exactly the wrong thing to do in certain circumstances, and, unfortunately, one of those circumstances is when they are near to the ground (when landing)!.
