Is there something inherent in the design of a high wing that insures the stall starts at the wing root? Or perhaps they're out there and I've just not noticed them. Cheers: Paul N1431A Don't know if this is the answer or not but high wings with struts can be rigged with washout so the roots stall before the tips and you've got some aileron authority just before the wing completely stalls. Piper Cubs, Super Cubs, 172's, 152's, and Taylorcrafts (to name a few) have ability to adjust for wing washout. You can remove washout too, and doing so will turn a Taylorcraft into a squirrelly staller. I know that from experience. |
