Everything Offends Me
This was a discussion amongst 3 unnamed pilots and myself today (and its been a flashchat discussion in the past as well).
You are turning, lets say left, and you are not holding enough rudder, therefore you are slipping (I had to explain that to avoid discussion about skids, as that is not the question). You could be doing it to lose altitude or possibly because you are lazy and flying uncoordinated.
You keep banking and you hit that magic point where your turn causes the stall speed to rise high enough to meet your current airspeed. You stall. What happens next?
Do you spin? Do your wings roll level like a normal stall? Do you plummet to the ground in a ball of flames and have your wings ripped off at the same time?
The question is: What happens in a slipping turn when you stall?
