Default compressor stall

Hi Guys,

After 4 years and appox 400+ turbine flights on different airplanes my dream run came to an end due to the turbine compressor stall
on my avonds rafale. Only the left wing is damaged because i could not make it back to the r/w, so hopefully i can have it fixed.

Roger at wren was very helpful in explaining to me the reasons behind a compressor stall.He told me in maneuvers like tailslides,spins or even a split S, do not bring the throttle stick all the way back to idle and open throttle rapidly. In fact he told me to
have at least 1/4 throttle open when performing all these maneuvers.

So all you rafale, euro and 3d flyer's watch out for your throttle stick position next time.

Best Regards
Chaitanya.
