Default RE: Unfortunate crash video of a new DeHavilland Mosquito Twin

I watched the vid a few more times to see how high he was . I think he probably was too low to recover after the stall.

Another thing I noticed was that he was trying to turn toward the good engine and the plane was fighting him. Then he seems to just add more and more up elevator until it stalled. Then bam, it breaks right on him. I think this is a case where people prefer left turns more than right turns. His inclination seems to turn left even though the answer is to turn right. I can certainly understand that. I've gotten myself it tight spots for the very same reason.
