Quote from henra:
"As I said before drag in a flare will only be less than half of the drag in a stall. And even in the stall it will take a couple of seconds until the rotor stops even though once past a certain point this process can't be stopped or reverted any more."

So, as a fixed-winger (without the h), can I correctly infer that it's impossible to stall the main-rotor by over-flaring at the end of an auto?
