I've noticed that on a full stall flare landing my right wing will stall first. This rarely happens however I was able to capture it on this video. I now have 55 hours on this Super Baby Great Lakes and in the air, after some buffering it gently stalls straight ahead. My question for this group is, why on landing will the right wing stall first when in flight it stalls straight ahead.
One of the really smart guys on our BGL Face Book page thought it might be the prop wash slipstream splaying out beneath the Baby is somehow affecting the right lower wing when in ground effect. Or the asymmetric downwash thrust on the right side of the fuselage (yes, even at idle power) is imposing just a slightly greater angle of attack upon both right wing planes thus creating that “critical angle” just a hair more than the left side.
Thoughts?
Be safe and stay healthy!
