LaLa , sorry if I confused you but untill the rotor stall is well developed the characteristic is a 'soft' arrival at a CLmax, it becomes dirty and stressful but probably not catastrophic.
I'm sorry if I am being obtuse but I just don't understand any of that - what is a soft arrival at CLmax supposed to mean versus a dirty and stressful one???

You say the whole disc stalls but that is quite clearly not the case - every book I have read says the stall will start on the retreating side because the AoA there is higher - are you disputing that?
