| Mar 2, 2023 at 18:26 | comment | added | quiet flyer | @abelenky -- re "It is possible that an extreme down-trim setting could make it harder to stall the plane." -- it's actually the opposite, right? Assuming the plane has a conventional trim tab rather than a moving horizontal tail-- if I'm wrong about that, then never mind. Anyway, in the case of the trim tab, then nose-down trim raises the back of the trim tab. With yoke full aft, the hands-off position of the yoke is irrelevant, as is the felt force on the yoke, but the little tab sticking up into the airflow gives you a little more nose-up pitch authority. | |

| Aug 5, 2015 at 3:13 | comment | added | Rhino Driver | I think you are confusing a departure (OCF) with a stall. You are out of control the moment that normal control inputs result in unexpected results. IE, when a wing rolls off, or the nose suddenly drops during a stall. However, many aircraft are capable of remaining controllable while exceeding their critical AoA in a stall; therefore, you cannot determine a stalled condition based solely on the responsiveness of the controls. Mushing may very well be a stalled condition, and I'd argue that if you pulled the stick back and the nose didn't accordingly track up that you were technically OCF. | |

| Dec 18, 2013 at 17:17 | comment | added | abelenky | Did you happen to notice your trim setting? It is possible that an extreme down-trim setting could make it harder to stall the plane. Given that your CG may have been slightly aft, you may well have had more nose-down trim than usual. | |
