Various of the King Schools knowledge exam prep multimedia materials have some
footage like that. Probably copyrighted, though.

Chuck,
You didn't happen to video it, did you? I've been looking for exactly that
kind of footage for my ground school class to show exactly what you've
talked about.

I did an interesting experiment in my Archer yesterday. I've read about
the
wing washout and know the soft stall of my Archer but yeaterday I saw it.
Using small pieces of duct tape, I put eight, six inch ribbons on the left
wing
- four along the leading edge, back about 10 inches, and four, 10 inches
forward of the trailing edge.
At 3,000 AGL, I slowly decreased speed while holding altitude. For the
longest
time they all streamed. Then the most inboard aft "came loose". Just
before
the break for the stall, all four close in ribbons were stalling and the
four
out ribbons were still streaming. The Archer stall is mild and is a
series of
scollops. The outside ribbons, in the area of the ailerons kept
streaming.
I saw what makes this a forgiving plane and a good choice for the
occasional
pilot.
