Out of balance = Out of luck!

Fully agree with Inbalance, (previous post).

The stall which occurs when the lower wing is lifted by aileron, (to improve ground view), in a steep, powered turn is known by several different names:

In Canada - it's the 'moose stall'
In Australia - the 'mustering stall'

Low speed maneouvring requires very strong yet exact rudder inputs. Not enough emphasis on rudder in PPL course.

Types with reserve power can usually be recovered easier, because there is continuing rudder command as power is increased in the turn, or when the stall warning comes on. My experience is that a 172 will get out of trouble better than a 150, and so on.

cheers,
