I have not tried modeling a piston aircraft in quite some time. [Hal Engel's P-51D does stall in either direction, does it not?] In any case, it should be possible to model aerodynamic effects from the propeller in the XML model file for any JSBSim aircraft (in the <aerodynamics> section) - effects that would affect stalling, I suspect. It's not that JSBSim doesn't support asymmetric stalls - JSBSim doesn't *not* support it. But, I'm not sure anyone has crafted the aerodynamic/propulsion interactions that would effect that. This isn't necessarily the fault of users, either. We (JSBSim development community) would ideally make available more examples and documentation.
