peter2480 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 The falling leaf is done by flying on the edge of the stall and whenever a wing drops, you pick it up with rudder. As each wing stall alternately you are sort of falling with an oscillating motion and still substantial forward motion. Using the rudder to pick up the rudder to pick up the wing on alternate sides is stopping an incipient spin keeping kinetic energy to a minimum. As the wing is effectively stalled there will not be much forward momentum involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
