Default RE: I am the Krash King

When it took off it Immediately started to lean to left... obviously i had elevator up and compensated with right aileron... when it continued (at about 15' high) to roll over i then gave it right rudder w/ right aileron ... but nothing responded.
Sounds to me like a tip stall.

My guess is that you were climbing too fast for the conditions. (You richened the engine so it would 'remain running no matter what', so you may have had less power than usual.)

Anyway, if applying right aileron did not correct the left roll then the wing was stalled, and the only thing that MIGHT have helped at that point was down elevator in the hopes of getting the airspeed up.
