PANCAKES AIN’T NO FUN!
Someone mentioned earlier in the thread about getting into a falling leaf situation. BEEEE CAREFUL!!!!
I was doing hammer head stall and didn’t get the nose around quick enough with the rudder. Next thing I knew....I was in the falling leaf situation.
The bird was totally unresponsive to ANY control input, but it was nose slightly up and wing-wobbling stable. FULL POWER WILL NOT GET YOU OUTA THIS. After falling several hundred feet with me trying everything, I think I chopped the power AND the nose fell down. Recovery was not very far off the ground, but she did recover.
Maybe full power is aggravating the situation???
My CG is on the mark, with a 6000 in the middle tray and one in the rear.
When someone else experiences this, let us know what method you used to recover. Now to go clean my shorts!!!

P.S. Check off the range check at low altitude and far distance = pass
