* Spin - Spins are caused loss of stability in the Yaw Moment axis.  A stock [[Aeromatic]] [[FDM]] yaw section does not take alpha into account when calculating the yaw moment.

* Faking lift polars - If we assume a symmetrical airfoil that stalls at +/- 15 degrees (0.26 radians) AoA and assume the lift is linear between the two we can create a table like:
<table >
  <independentVar lookup="row">aero/alpha-rad</independentVar>
  <tableData>
    0.26  0.26
  -0.26 -0.26
  </tableData>
