That sounds about right to me. In the Cessna 172 that I fly, you can get some exciting nose-drop behavior in a power-on stall, or with a more abrupt control movement. But, if the aircraft is lightly loaded (200lb pilot, 30gal fuel) and you do a power-off stall gently, you just hear it go in and out of the buffet every few second while you descend smoothly. I've flown several incipient spins (with an instructor, un/cross-coordinated power-on stall) in the Cessna 172 and they were quite exciting. :-) -Luke -- Luke Scharf, Jack of Several Trades http://www.ccm.ece.vt.edu/~lscharf _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
