I believe that the reason for the unexpected, sudden wing drop even on
Europa XS with wing wash-out is that in slip/skid the outer/inner wing is
actually like a swept wing, which stalls at the tip first. This will
eliminate the wash-out effect, where the root part stalls first when flying
coordinated.
Good point Svein - curiously a swept wing is more stable laterally than a
'straight ' wing at flying speeds, for much the same reasons.
