I don't think Uriah was planning on providing us an aerodynamic lecture on the matter, was he???

Well if he was he has the floor (or would that be ceiling).

In retrospect I understand Rama's argument now, as he was indicating that really no one these days flies authentic examples or replicas of these WWI aircraft to the risk of departure and spinning (they're just too valuable for that). So the reference point for comparisons will have to come from deciphering the historical record, and hope that the ROF flight engine replicates the feel of stalls and spinning as convincingly as possible.
