Final approach / flare✈️ Plane

Tip-stall on landing approach

A wingtip drops suddenly on approach, at low airspeed and high angle of attack.

💡 The idea: Make the root stall before the tip does.

Try these in order

Make one change at a time and re-test — that's how you learn what your car likes.

  1. 1
    Add washout (1-2° less angle of attack at the tip)

    Lets the wing root stall first, so the ailerons still have authority when it matters.

  2. 2
    Reduce aileron throw / add expo at low speed

    Less chance of provoking a full stall with an aggressive input.

  3. 3
    Carry a bit more approach speed

    Don't fly the approach right on the stall margin.

  4. 4
    Slightly forward CG

    Reduces the angle of attack needed for a given speed.
