Resending (disappeared yesterday).

Hi Ron, my 2 cents.

In turning descent or level flight the inside wing will stall first.
I remind myself of:
1. top rudder, in order to lead with the inside wing - slip, not skid
2. apply progressively, not suddenly - do not yank a wing back

I understand that in a turning climb the outside wing may stall first 
though.

The fuselage decreases the airflow over the inner part of the wing that 
is pulled back, decreasing lift of that wing, compensated with aileron. 
I don't think there is fuselage lift involved in explaining anything.

Jan
