My 235 doesn't drop a wing as long as I keep the ball close to the center, and I have several friends flying Lancairs that don't exhibit the wing-drop in the stall, either. Are we just the exception, rather than the rule? I'm sure that since many Lancairs could be slightly off in rigging, due to the fact that they're built without the niceties of factory jigs (true of any home-built). Some will have uncertain stall characteristics but I think it's a builder, rather than a design artifact. Dan Schaefer
