I guess I didnt say it but I also got an abrupt drop of the left wing both with controls centered and with controls crossed when doing high power stall entries. With coordinated controls, it was practical to keep directional control with yoke turned hard right and appropriate right rudder. With the right aileron opposed by full left rudder, the plane was still almost level but turned left at a moderate rate. It seems were getting a consensus of experiences with the same behavior. Itd be nice to have a sample size well higher than 3-5. If others have experience in this realm (high power departure stalls in a Coupe), please tell us your observations. Perhaps a contributing factor is that I also weighed about 250 when I did this testing and was alone in the plane. (I suspect this is minor compared to P-factor or differential slipstream flow over the wing roots.)

It was a roller-coaster ride and I didnt enjoy it. So, I didnt do the absolutely full power cross-controlled stall. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Ed
