<DIV>How do you stall a wing that is not producing any lift, as in the case when
the plane is on a vertical up or down line?</DIV>
<DIV>My definnition of stall is when an increase in angle of attack does not
produce an increase in lift. Another might be when the lift does not
exceed the weight. I've got to believe we know a snap when we see it and
we ought to quit trying to describe it in words.</DIV>

<DIV><STRONG> 1. Since the maneuver is defined as a stall
maneuver<BR>(initiated by a rapid stall of the wing induced<BR>by a change in
pitch attitude), the nose of the<BR>fuselage should show a definite break from
the<BR>flight path in the direction of the snap (positive<BR>or negative)
while the track closely maintains<BR>the flight path.<BR> </STRONG></DIV>
