Brian,

I dont want to waste too much of my time responding to tit for tat responses. You have shown a lack of understand of aerodynamics. No big deal but its useful to understand things in more detail.

One point I am making is that one should NOT assume that an experienced fixed-wing pilot will resort to ham fisted incorrect responses in an emergency.

Another point I am making is that the stall of an airfoil doesnt always happen at a certain speed but can happen at virtually any speed. But always at or beyond the stall angle of attack.

We have all studied the vector diagrams that show how autorotative forces work. Its all about angle of attack of the airfoil.

Nuff said.

OOW
