Default Cap 232 Tip Stall Vs. Snapping

Flyfalcons is right. Another thing to think about is when do you loose it? If you tip just as you get the power out, make sure your engine is lined up. If not, you are trimmed for the power and when you pull power, it can snap. If it snaps when you pull elevator, make sure both sides of the elevator are moving the same amount. Usually, adding power makes the spin worse once you get in it. I would add some weight to the nose and see what that does if everything else checks. These planes don't like to fly slow. They can tip easy if you get slow and add power. Can make some maneuvers a lot of fun, but can get you into trouble if you are low and dont expect it. Hope that all helps a bit.
