* '''Stall''' - A 'stall' is generally regarded as a loss of lift due to flow separation over the top of a wing, however, examination of lift polar for an airfoil over a full 360 degrees shows that significant amounts of lift are NOT lost as the stall occurs. The biggest aerodynamic effect of a stall is a large and rapid increase in drag. | * '''Stall''' - A 'stall' is generally regarded as a loss of lift due to flow separation over the top of a wing, however, examination of lift polar for an airfoil over a full 360 degrees shows that significant amounts of lift are NOT lost as the stall occurs.

* '''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. | * '''Spin''' - Spins are caused loss of stability in the Yaw Moment axis.
