Default RE: Wing tip stall

the escapade is not known for having tip stalls.
It is however known for being lightly built and having the wing separate in flight at high speed.
If you want a plane that likes to tip stall try a cap 232. trick toavoid tip stalling is to make the final turn with 1/4 throttle and hold it until
your about 15 feet from run way then chop throttle and let her sink on in. Do not try to prolong the glide or it will then stall.

Not to change the subject, but as long as you mentioned it...

I think Toyota has the right idea - Kill off the people who are too stupid to turn off the ignition!
LOL

Minnflyer isAbsolutely! correct, another thing to keep in mind is if you have a low wingsymmetricalairfoil, your plane isdesignedto have batter flight at higher speeds.The biggest wing tip events I see is coming in for a landing. DO NOT come in to slow or she will tip hard and fast.

Be wary of applying power too fast to avoid a tip stall, particularly on short span, high powered models, as the sudden increase in torque on the airplane can cause the left wing to dip, and if your already close to a tip stall on the left wing, this can help to initiate it.

Lateral balance will only be a factor at slow speeds if it is severely out of balance. The main cause of tip stall is from uncoordinated flight ie: a slip or a skid at slow speed. This causes one wing to become more stalled and the tip stall occurs, also a tip stall is the initial stage of a spin. Most sport models do not have a real problem with this if they are flown at appropriate airspeeds. As others have said practice at altitude to learn the airspeed range that is apropriate for your model.

I've never had a tip stall either. not sure why, I am really not much of a pilot yet. One of these days I WILL BE as good as Minnflyer, but until then, I alawys check the lateral CG. and when I taxi out, I set the throttle trim (idle speed) high, but not high enough for it to move, but just below movement. This keeps me from being able to full drop ilde during flight. which ensures, that even with the throttle stick all the way back, that I'm still flying with some speed. Thus far I feel that this has helped me with making good smooth landings. Of course with the trusty old trainer, I dont do this as it would never land. but for all my scale and sport planes, that is what I do. When I first started, I got tip stall confused with torque roll. on the decathlon I have, I tried a 13X6 APC prop with a 55 AX engine, it would roll left everytime I took off (torque rolled), I put on a smaller prop and torque roll (what I thought was tip stall) went away.

Well I'll be flying electric for now and I would assume the same laws will apply to me also. Once i establish a safe stall speed like all the above have noted, my flying skills should improve.
