Re: Say, what?

Stall has nothing to do with the engine. High angle of attack leads to wing stall, which is lack of lift. This is caused by airflow not adhering to the upper surface of the wing. This is caused by air flow being too slow, or the wing being angled too high relative to the forward motion. Air does not adhere to the wing surface and breaks away prematurely, causing lack of lift, causing wing stall and loss of altitude.
