As the airspeed slows into the white arc, extend the wing flaps. When the airplane is stabilized in the approach attitude and speed, begin to smoothly and slowly bring the nose up to an attitude which will cause a stall. The main factors which determine the angle of attack of a wing are, airspeed, weight, and load factor.

Ailerons are actuated by pushrods that run through the wing struts, reducing aerodynamic drag and giving the responsive ailerons a solid feel. It is as far forward as possible for stability under heavy braking and absorbs serious shock loading through a trailing-beam design. What about the nosewheel itself?

Alongside a nearby highway, some recognizable bits of airplane, the vertical stabilizer and rudder, a horizontal stabilizer and elevator, fell separately to Earth. I did my first aileron roll in an RV-4. The margin beyond VNE in indicated airspeed and the onset of flutter may be less than many pilots would guess.
