Aha - the superb 'tin parachute' as the French used to describe the MS406 Rallye. Many happy tugging hours in those. Terrific for steep approaches and needed a good strong pull and ether enough speed for the flare or a good dose of power.
The thing that terrified me was trying to stall the beast with full flap and full power. Of course the slats came out and the attitude was extraordinary, while the ASI effectively stopped reading.. I chickened out and pushed to recover; I wonder what it would have done - flicked, or just mushed horribly? Excellent ailerons so there was still good lateral control when I abandoned the effort.
