Whilst not commenting on this accident the above "Done any aerobatics" reminds me of training we received at RR some 50+ years ago. We were sent up in a Dove, each seat kitted out with an instrument panel from which we were to note readings for instance at pre-stall and other conditions. One of those conditions involved the pilot putting both engines on full power then cutting one out completely and leaving the aircraft to do its thing for, well it felt like forever, whilst we were supposed to calmly note the various sensor readings.

It's a bit akin to getting into a skid in a car, everything happens very quickly unless you know what you are doing.
