Yup, stall is stall, as many beaver pilots have found when turning low and slow...
here's another from the same thread, a sobering thought...
"110 kts, straight and level, collective bottomed, 500 lbs below max gross, descent off the top of the mountain - wind sheer, a/s up to 155kts, a/c snapped to the right 90 degrees. both arms could not pull it back, cyclic was solid. you can get ST any number of ways."
You know, I don't like aircraft that bite. I know the Astar is a good machine, and has had a lot of good stuff built in from the design stages, but that sort of thing should have been fixed. To my mind a limitation is something that results from natural causes, such as something that all engineers know about, such as, say helicopters don't fly faster than a certain maximum speed. This is a design flaw. like the electrics, but I'm not going there...
