Larry, Because of the limited elevator travel and full span ailerons, the coupe stalls but resists dropping a wing. It is this resistance to drop a wing in the stall that makes the Coupe "Spin-proof". It will however stall quite nicely. You will find the same effect when flying a canard. Pull the yoke full aft and the planes canard will bobble in and out of the stall. The rear wing never drops because it stalls at a higher airspeed and is still 'flying'. -----Original Message----- From: Larry Wilkins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2001 5:05 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [COUPERS] with pedals ----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- A Coupe will not stall! It just mushes down and drops like a rock. Maybe that's a stall afterall. I never tried it with full power on and full up elevator. My old Piper Colt would do the same as the Coupe, power off, but if you pulled back with full power, she'd scare the shift out of you as the wing and nose tried to fall out of the sky.
