RC Master Class 2: Stall Dynamics & Energy Management for RC Aircraft
A stall isn’t just a loss of lift — it’s a complex aerodynamic event driven by exceeding the critical angle of attack (AoA). For RC pilots, particularly those flying warbirds, EDF jets, and aerobatic aircraft, mastering stall behavior requires both theoretical understanding and practical in-flight testing. Defining the Stall A stall occurs when the wing’s angle of attack exceeds its critical threshold, typically 12°–16° for most RC airfoils. At this point, airflow over the...
