wing stalling on purpose?

[BadAim]

Any spin is a stall of one wing, as is a hammerhead. It requires the input of all controls. If you wish to argue the fine points of what is and is not a stall, you may go ahead and do so, I won't participate.

I always thought a "hammerhead" manouvre was a controlled turn using vertical climb... rudder the wing over, then dive.

It's amzing to watch magpies doing these kinds of manouvres when battling invading mynor birds (hassling little blighters they are) , to protect the nest.
