Minimum Radius Turns
Share tips, techniques, or anything else related to flying.
mtv,
If your turning left, then the right wing is producing more lift and therefore has the higher AOA. Of course that is why an aircraft in an accelerated stall will break in the opposite direction of the turn.
I'm not interested in an AOA sensor for my aircraft. My comments were tongue in cheek as they say. I really don't fly that close to the edge, I'm not that good.

This thread is about minimum radius turns. They may be required in a canyon or some other tight spot. It may require you to fly close to the edge. The trick is to find out where the edge is and fly close to it without going beyond it. Of course, we all try to avoid this situation. Even the best of us can make mistakes no matter how much we talk on the web about how we would not.
Have a safe trip to Alaska.
