Wingdrop while stalling

Deja vu all over again - wasn't there a 90-post thread on this topic
(need for thingies sticking up != bad wing design) a couple months
back? Save your fingers and check the archives....

The Deepak is a nifty-looking little trainer, though. Side-by-side
seating, right?

Yes side-by-side seating. The canopy looks cool! (More on the Deepak
below, but is skippable)
Never flew in it though (Infact, flew for the 1st time (ever) in a
Saratoga(sedate plane, though several people did get airsick) and then
in a Supercub (what a sexy old bird!) about 20 days back.(Hey, is
there a '1st time in the air' thread?? )


Is there any refernce to Bonanzas using pan-head rivets at turbulators
anywhere?

And why would a more turbulent airflow prevent tip stalling?(leading
to wing drop) Wont it mean that the tip will stall at a higher AoA? Or
the fact that there were more such rivets towards the root side have a
stablizing effect while stalling?

Boring stuff on the HAL HPT-32 DeepakU may skip)

The Indian fedral audit doomsayers report on the plane and the
problems it had:
(Says the Textron Lycoming engine is causing too much pain)
http://www.cagindia.org/reports/defe...1/chapter3.htm
Goto "7.6.2 Unreliability of trainer aircraft 7.6.2.1 HPT-32 aircraft"


The Indian Parliamentary committee invetigates above report:
(The problem is not the engine but...)
http://164.100.24.208/ls/committeeR/...th/report.html
Goto "5.2.1 HPT-32 aircraft"

Apparently, all problems solved now, the Indian Air Force has ordered
even more Deepaks.

Blue skies y'all,

ATC: "HPT-32, what are your intentions?"

HPT 32: "To get my wings and become a fighter pilot sir."

ATC: "I meant in the next 5 minutes, not ten years!"
