RE: Another Skymaster Viper bites the dust....
Gary,
Makes me sick to watch man. I think your initial assessment of a stall is absolutely correct. Stall at the top, followed by a continued elevator pull (not yet realizing it was a stall), than a relax on the elevator which was the pause in the turning, followed by a re-application of the elevator in a last ditch effort to recover the bird before the impact, which re-initiated the stall due to the slow air-speed.
Whatever it was, it sucks. Don't let it get you too down. We all know, that it's not if, but when.
Take care and call me if you need anything.
