    You did a real good job explaining a complicated subject with an incredible amount of factors and contributors.
    It’s easy to blanket every stall on which a wing drops violently as a “tip stall” because it just looks so obvious that the stall started or was only at that one wingtip.
    What hurts us the most is all stalls are pilot error. Just like a motorcycle or bicycle won’t fall over once it’s in motion, an airplane won’t stall on its own once it’s flying (if trimmed for coordinated flight). Pilots induce the stall by uncoordinated control inputs or failure to maintain sufficient airspeed for the attitude they’re trying to fly at.

    Just found your channel. Thanks for the excellent clarification. I learned to fly RC after I earned my private license. I treated learning RC flying like I did full-size: It was a different world, I didn't know squat, and I'd better listen to the people who knew what they were doing. But I kept hearing about something I'd never heard of in my private training: the "tip stall". I asked guys at the field what was meant by a "tip stall". Some said that's what it's called because the wing "tipped over", others said it was the wing tip becoming aerodynamically stalled leading to dropping the stalled wing (on straight-wing trainers). That's why I'm really glad you provided this excellent clarification. Subscribed.

    You are quite correct about the difference, but I always say tip stall myself as they are functionally the same as an asymmetric stall (from the 'oh no my plane flipped over' point of view) and everyone knows what i mean when i say it. If someone wants to argue about the granular detail they clearly have more time to waste on it than i do.

    • @TailHeavyProductions

      That's why we're proponents of just saying "I dropped a wing" instead of one or the other. It avoids any unnecessary arguments and is correct for either a tip stall or asymmetric stall. 👍

      Dang! It should be noted that legit flat turns (aka skidding turns) are a recipe for a wing drop due to the uncoordinated condition you’re in - ESPECIALLY when flying slow. Make sure your turns are *coordinated* above all else and keep your nose low during your downwind/base/final legs into the round out and flare. Flat turns are fun to try for fun when done on purpose! Good cross control practice. 👍

  • @richardunruh4035
    @richardunruh4035 Год назад

    Additional comment: RC folks should never let full-size pilots look/talk down on you because you're just flying "toys". They're just as much airplanes as full size BUT are far harder to fly because their smaller size means far lower moment of inertia, which means crazy faster roll, pitch and yaw rates. That's why it's so easy to have a "tip stall". The best description I ever heard of what it's like to fly a fast small aerobatic RC plane (or heli) is it's like flying "a mosquito on crack". The young folks are particularly good at it. Those days are long gone for me, but I still am amazed at what lightning fast young reflexes can do.

    Y’all over at Tail Heavy are so knowledgeable on aviation stuff; perhaps y’all could also answer a question I had on Sport EDFs. I know that swept wings are useful for aircraft that experience supersonic flow over their surfaces, but since sport jets don’t go that fast at all, how come so many are built with them? Are there other uses for swept wings in at Electric RC scales?

    • @TailHeavyProductions
      @TailHeavyProductions  Год назад +2

      I hit up Adam who helped fact check this video. Here’s his answer.
      “Ok, short answer is that the point of a sport jet is to look like a jet, while also being fun to fly. Gotta have those swept wings and internal fan to look fast and sound wooshy.
      Most of the time having swept wings at the rc scale is not going to help it fly better. Lots of sport jets have dogtoothed leading edges or something else to *mitigate* the nasty effects of having a swept wing.
      I guess one exception to this is the category of flying wings, where having that sweep can give you some yaw stability (at the cost of potential dutch-roll nastiness) and can sometimes allow for a larger range of acceptable cg locations.”

Stalls were mostly benign, but occasionally it would drop a wing. Power on stalls were a little more abrupt. I added vortex generators which made the stalls more gentle. Am I correct in assuming this would be true with RC planes?

    joking aside, I'm really glad I have a license to both fly RC planes and a driver's license for both auto and manual clutched cars. very useful,
    pretty much essential for when you're in the RC hobby and have to fly at field since I'm inside a nearby airport CTR so a club field is my only nearby legal option.

    I'd buy a "dropped a wing" Tee shirt as long as there pic of a bbq wing on it for added confused looks from gawkers.
