I still do some instructing here and there. Even my guys that haven’t gotten their Private yet know that “nose angle”(maybe more properly referred to as pitch attitude?) has absolutely nothing to do with stalling the airplane, nor does it have anything to do with recovering from a stall. Stalls are based on angle of attack, which has nothing to do with the relationship of the longitudinal axis of the airplane and the horizon and everything to do with the relationship of flight path of the airplane compared to the “chord line.” There is definitely much more involved, but since you apparently know nothing about aviation other than the wings make it fly, that is as simple as I can make it. I have been quiet as long as I can, but man you really sound like a MO RON. Sorry, but go away.
