I don't understand this comment.  When the plane is in a steep
bank in a sharp turn, wouldn't the speed of the outside tip
be closer to the speed of the inside tip than when the bank
isn't so steep?   What was the result of the sharp turn/stall speed
discussion?  Isn't that the important consideration here?
