Has it anything to do with wing loading.

Try power off steep turn to stall in balance.
Straight stall, possible fall into turn and recover.
Try same again with full power. Result buffet little height loss.
Most instances recovery is to relax back pressure.

Now, repeat full power, steep turn, imagine slipping in, apply top rudder, rudder causes roll opposite to turn, which is then offset with more down aileron on out side wing, greater AofA ,more loading, snap stall, the rest is very interesting.

If kept in balance, other than for wing damage/mismatch, it will probably always stall straight. But then.......

How many demo. steep turn with flap. Far more comfortable.
In Warrior/Archer set power, <Vfe, 45 AofB, set 2nd flap and it will go around all day with very liitle back pressure or 'G' force?
How much back pressure does it take to stall?
