  • BackPacker - Thanks, I'll look into some advanced SSA when I have a few more hours in my log book, I think it will be invaluable.
  • BookWorm - Thank you, You got it You indeed, RTFQ
  • RansS9 - That's an awesome resource, thanks.
So the quote from PPL1 could read:
“When turning there is an increased tendency for the wing to drop at the stall, but not in the way you might expect. In a balanced level turn, the higher (outer) wing has a higher angle of attack than the lower wing because the pilot has to deflect the ailerons against the turn due to the faster (higher wing) producing more lift than the inner. Therefore the higher wing will reach the critical angle of attack first and stall, actually rolling the aircraft out of the turn.”????
