RE: [ercoupe-tech] Ercoupe Stalls

Re: "Many planes are designed so the outer panels of the wing stay UN-stalled
when the wing roots stall. (Did Fred Weick originate this or was it a
design feature before the Ercoupe??)"
This feature has been around for a long time in many airplanes.  The "twist" or 
"washout" is intended to keep the tipwise portion of the wing unstalled so the 
ailerons retain their effectiveness after the initial stall warning.  Otherwise 
- Stall and wheeeeeeeeeeeee!
