I was just wondering the same thing.

After reading the Spitfire MKI manual, I was doing a few stalls. From 250mph I was pulling back on the stick into the climb before stalling at about 160mph, drops a wing violently and then enters a spin.

Unfortuately it's hard to work oput if this is due to a dynamic stall or an accelerated stall.

If we knew what G's we were pulling be able to calculate the stall speed. If that corresponded to the stall speed in the test, then that would indicate a accelerated stall and not a dynamic stall, Or we could ask a question to the developers (which Insubar already has) and wait for a response.

Cheers!
