I took my Coupe out for some exercise recently and decided to test this
stall-proof, spin-proof theory.
At full power and the yoke full aft, the pitch attitude is very
steep. Then it did break and the nose dropped to about level flight.
I was surprised it did that. I thought it was just suppose to mush.
There was a definite break. Also, when it broke, the left wing dropped and
required right aileron to keep it straight. I did the same thing with
power off and there was no break and the wing did not drop, just a nice mush and
a decent of 700 FPM.
I'm curious if others have the same experience?
My coupe is a C, converted to a D, and also has the split elevator.
