Fly Stimulator,

Thanks for that explanation - clears it up (though I was sitting here using my hands to mimic a plane and wind direction so I'd visualise what you meant) - once I read it thru a couple times it 'clicked' into place. I think my problem was from hearing the two terms incorrectly applied by others. (That, and a particularly trying Nav. class tonight has fried my brain! )

Think I'll actually print that out for future reference

As regards stalls, have only experienced stall turns and such rather than spirals (which sound exciting), but it's all something new to look forward to!

Will shut up now and leave it to Mazzy!
