Bit of a thread drift - I heard the Kodiak has had its payload dramatically reduced in the certification process - any truth to this rumor?
tian yu - I think this will have something due to the wing chord line/angle of attack reducing from the wing root to tip, hence the inboard portion (root) stalls before the tip (aileron end) enabling aileron authority throughout the stall. But it's been a few years since flight school so other more knowledgeable types could perhaps elaborate.
