Wasn't the issue also to do with the tail plane being masked by the wing/flap at high AoA thus reducing effectiveness in stall recovery. I think the 727s exhibited something called the "deep stall" for the same reasons.beyond a certain AoA you couldn't push forward to break the stall.

Folks I am concerned about claims that you can establish attitude using the compass 'dip" or a ball on string from the roof. Fact is you cannot and that is why gyros were adopted. In a balanced turn of any degree of bank both of the above methods will be indistinguishable from normal level

KR> Re: decending without gyros

Rudder induces turn by its secondary effect on roll which results from one wing being presented at a different AoA to the other. If you use rudder to keep your magnetic compass constant then you will roll into an unusual attitude. If you use rudder with opposite aileron to prevent the roll then
