Salute!
Yes, I do place STS as a bandaid to overcome crappy speed/AoA stability characteristics. The basic airframe should meet the cert without help from HAL.
Secondly, I cannot seem to find a memory item for initial response to stick shaker that requires nose up trim or turning off electric trim. Or pulling off power, or.....
Good and great airmanship has saved many SLF, but there are times the deck is stacked against you, and either the procedure does not apply or work. And in three of my close calls there WAS NO PROCEDURE.
So I shall continue to grant the crews some slack and whine about a crappy design and implementation that got thru all the hoops to be fielded.
Gums opines...
