[NSRCA-discussion] Proper Stall turns?

[Ken Thompson]

Tim,

The rules for downgrade of a stall turn state that anything over 1/2 wingspan is downgraded.

  I watched a couple of Videos of Naruke and CPLR and noticed they seem to almost "fly over" the stall turn. I thought to get max points the airplane must stop and pivot right around the yaw axis and come straight back down. The rules state 2 wing spans. Is it really a stall turn if the airplane still has forward speed and the airplane is yawed into the stall turn (Not wind corrected) and continues up and then turns?
