Stall Recovery of a Remote Controlled Airplane

The only way to recover from a stall is to get the Angle of Attack (A o A) lower than the critical angel.

Since the elevator controls the (A o A), you have to push forward on the elevator (forward on the stick). This is especially difficult to do during a landing approach whether you are flying a real aircraft or even a remote controlled airplane.

If you see your plane heading towards the ground your first reaction will be to pull back but that will only ensure that your aircraft will just keep stalling.

The best way to avoid this is to get to know your airplane and its stall characteristics.
