Depends on the type of stall. But let me hazzard a guess. Un-accelerated stall - (1)Descending with a (2)high pitch angle, (3)controls feel sluggish, (4)low airspeed(normally), (5)Airframe and control surface buffet

A Serious question and only one good response from Stefan. Dark Helmet, come to Rhino Park flight school so we can get you current, the right way!
This is what you need to answer to get full marks.

1. Quietness and no wind in your face
2. Nose up attitude
3. Low airspeed
4. Controls get heavy and mushy
5. Buffeting

and a 6th one in the case of 3-axis you will feel huge back pressure on the stick xxx

Can happen at high speed also and banked angles and then the sudden wing drop! (Cant say for Trikes, but have had it in my Bantam)

High speeds in a Bantam????

...nee man AndyG!...where have you ever heard of Bantam high speeds :lol: ?

Referring to stall in general happening also at high speeds (a wing stalls at a particular angle of attack and not at a particular airspeed) ...meaning you can fly at whatever airpspeed if you go beyond a certain angle of attack she will stall - low or high speeds

A wing will always stall at the same angle of attack - regardless of airspeed!

In conclusion an aircraft can stall at any airspeed

Here endeth the lesson :wink:
