Can someone explain why having a high expo on elevator makes you a candidate for this to happen? I used to instruct full size and used to demonstrate accelerated stalls and accelerated stall spins and I can't get my head around why having a high expo would make any difference, now if what is meant is too much movement on the elevator softened by high expo that is a different matter, its not the expo that has caused the problem, but the excessive elevator deflection, lets not get this confused if that is what is meant.

Sorry for confusing you Mike. Dan nailed it. High expo, pulling through the turn, pulling a little more, just a little more (reached the point in the expo curve where my "little" pull produced a LARGE movement, exceeding the allowed control surface deflection. While the expo itself is not the root cause, the dummy pulling the stick (aka ME) more and more, can be.
