RE: Unfortunate crash video of a new DeHavilland Mosquito Twin
Simple, he stalled it. *sigh* I've seen that happen far too many times (done it once or twice myself). Whenever you lose power, keep that nose DOWN to maintain airspeed. Try to make it back to the field of course, but if you can't do NOT try to stretch it with the elevator. This never works (see stall). Maintain a good glide and deal with what you get. Chances are, even if you don't make it back to the field the landing in the rough will be as gentle as it is possible to be, thus preventing severe damage.
