Slasher,

I go with Stan on this one. The original question mentions the term incipient. The wing isn't stalled yet.

He is correct that the RAF are quite insistent that rudder is not used to pick up the low wing at the incipient stall. If you are near the stall and use a bootful of rudder the inner wing slows down just as much as the outer one speeds up (a great disadvantage of these old fashioned joined-up wing aircraft). If the decelerating wing then stalls you have just given the aircraft the perfect excuse to bite you by entering a spin in the direction of the rudder input.

Don't fly fixed wing aircraft - they all have this serious design defect. They can't stop while you think! Also, don't fly anything that may involve using your @rse for an undercarriage.
