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.

Chuck
