Surviving a stall

[DuiBuQi]

I find this page accurately describes a stall http://www.ultralighthomepage.com/STALL/stall.html

When playing on realistic or simulator, your plane can stall very easily. When an aircraft is yanked out of the vector of its momentum, basically what happens is your engine and wing design try to carry the plane one way while it has been travelling another for some period of time and has momentum working against your engine.

So yanking the plane basically turns you into an akward mass hurdling through the air.

What you need to do is pick up air speed and put momentum in line with your engine again.

So push the stick forward (aim for the ground) and rudder away from the direction you are spinning. This will correct your yaw and give you the speed that your wings need in order to create lift.

Now.. you're half ready to attempt a stall in an aerial battle in order to throw off the bandid on your 6'.

Did you ever think Stalling was a good thing?

Probably not. Flying steady and level is pretty awesome. Twirling around in a spiral of death sucks. Unless you are twirling around at a higher altitude than your opponent.

Consider the situation where you are being pursued by a less powerful, opponent. If you've got the distance, and your opponent is less than skilled in the vertical battle, I suggest gun it to WEP and head straight up.

You'll notice that you bleed energy like a sucker. Your opponent will like what he sees because you're beginning to slow. What he doesn't realize is that his less powerful aircraft is going to stall quicker than yours. As he starts to stall theres nothing he can do now, but wait for the spin and try as he may to recover.

As he stalls take the opportunity to cut power and fall into a stall yourself. As you both come back out you'll have him in your sights at a very favorable speed and with limited manoueverability. Fill his cockpit with lead.
