Snacko Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 It looks like he stalled that on purpose? Then couldn't start it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DD_Arthur Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 "Tipsy Nipper" ? Thats not really a name for an aeroplane to fill you full of confidence is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD_Brando Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 He was trying to put the plane into a spin - but not the flat variety. The stall was intentional but - as he says in his assessment - he used his ailerons when he induced the spin. That was what unbalanced the aircraft. The engine was switched off as part of the "Flat spin recovery technique" which eventually worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadAim Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Weeeeeeeell. I personally would trade a wrecked plane for a live pilot any day...........'specially if'n that pilot were me! Bad day that could have been worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
