I was flying my Ta pretty hard today and discovered a tendency for the plane to stall during high-speed half loops. I love bringing my warbirds down the flight line at high speed , then yanking back on the elevator to Immelmann, then dive back down the flight line. Multiple times today, the Ta rebelled by falling out of the half loops. It was happening so quickly, that it took me a while to figure out that it was stalling during the high-speed, high-g half loops. I think that by easing off the elevator, the high-speed stalls will stop. I'll report back on my theory tomorrow.
[edit] There's been more discussion of this high-g high-speed stalling phenomenon over on RCG (https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...&postcount=753). If you're running high elevator throws (like I have been... 100% throw and 30% expo), you should be aware that your Ta could encounter stalking toward the top of loops, even when your speed is pretty high.
