Stall

When the air flowing over the wing cannot produce enough lift to support the weight of the model. This can happen if the modeler flies too slowly, or if the wing is at a too-high angle to the incoming airflow. If the wing is at a too-high angle to the incoming airflow, then it cannot flow over the wing properly to develop lift.
