Perhaps a demo in the chippie at Liverpool this weekend

Love to, but I'll be on hol!

The answer is - increasing the wing loading. Aeros is when you pull serious 'G' and that's how I stalled the Yak at 150knts - pulling out of a loop and pulling too hard. In non-aeros, a steep turn will have a drastic effect of wing loading and enable the wing to rach that critical angle at what one might normally consider a 'safe' airspeed. Lots of guys have done this circling the girlfriend's house.
