this may surprise you but an elevator is never stalled in flight.

Incorrect, any flying surface can be stalled.

* *Can be, but can't be under normal conditions. Ice will do it, as
could unlimited aerobatics, but the average FAR 23 airplane is
certified for neither. The key here involves what the airplane is
certified for, and the FAR 23 airplane meets the requirements of that
Part. You can postulate endlessly about decreased effectiveness of the
elevator with the tab deflected, but believe me, the engineers (and
some of the others lurking here) are way ahead of you on this and any
other item you care to mention.

Yes they lurk well.

If those engineers didn't take this
stuff into account the airplane simply wouldn't get certified and you
would never get a chance to fly it.

This has nothing to do with certification.

* * Rather than arguing from ignorance, you should find some good
books on aeronautical engineering and bone up on some basics first.


LOL!!!! Been there done that. What about you? I've only detected
deep insight in Bertie so far , but I'm comforted by the deep knowlege
that your lurkers must have.
