Default A dumb doubt on stalls

A Morane Saulnier Rallye is a conventional certified light plane and it
just drops with its nose up and tail down when stalled.
But I suppose it is an exception to the rule.

-Kees.



In the Rallye 235E, power off, as you reach full back on the yoke, you will
encounter mild buffet and descend in a level flight attitude at slightly
over 1,000 fpm with an IAS of about 40 MPH. Aerilons are still effective
and you can easily turn in this configuration without using your rudder.
(You will get a very nice adverse yaw demonstration doing this). Just relax
slightly from full back on the yoke and the nose drops immediately. For
more fun, keep the yoke back and slowly add power and watch your VSI jump
past +500 fpm while you are still encountering mild buffet.
