So the problem was not with the Ultra Stick but with that old boogy man "Mr. Disoriented". seanychen has it right but I would add one more offering, if you do become disoriented as to the attitude of the plane(and we all do), do not make a rash decision. Unless you are so close to the ground that it's do or die 50/50, do nothing for a few moments, except maybe retard the throttle, watch the plane and do as seanychen suggests. Neither transparent covering nor the Ultra Stick had anyhing to do with that crash....
