The aim was not to comment on 'avoiding the stall' nor on how to avoid 'roll reversal' (ie do not use aileron!) but merely an observation on what appeared to be a 'doubting' observation about a known aerodynamic fact that using aileron to pick up a fully stalled wing can put you on your back extremely quickly
showed possible roll reversal
- aileron on a fully stalled wing ALWAYS produces 'roll reversal' - I remain unconvinced that this lesson is correctly taught or understood - and I agree with Mountain Bear that introducing yet another magic computer programme loop to overcome this is fraught with even more danger.

The 'solution' to our problems lies in flying ability and less reliance on computers to get us out of the mess we have got ourselves into.

EDIT: Before I am jumped on by the theorists, could all please assume the word 'conventional' where 'wings' are mentioned?
