Incidentally, a wing drop at the stall is a common feature in many
aircraft, GA or homebuilt. As Carl pointed out, adjusting the flaps is often
a
solution. I have seen this done on a couple of Cessnas. The correct fitting
of
stall strips to the Europa is the recommended procedure for taming an
'interesting' stall characteristic. Stall strips are common to many aircraft
including twins, twin jets as well.
Mike - thanks for your comments - when I talked about wing drop at the stall
I was referring to the dramatic results experienced by some correspondents
e.g. violent drop and even inversion. I have relatively little Europa
experience and have not attempted deliberate stalling but have done so with
other
types and wing drop has been nil or very gentle.
I shall be looking again at stall strips.
