I understand lift decently, but I have to admit I'm not quite sure about the mechanics behind planning at all. Steve Brown -----Original Message----- This is true if the paddle is fully submerged. If you're talking about a paddle blade on the surface, then the blade is planing and we're not dealing with lift. Increasing the "AoA" of a planing blade means that you're changing the ability to plane and the behavior is not the same as a stall.
