I am now convinced Vuichard hasnt actually experienced fully developed vortex ring. I have been in it once and I could assure him that the aircraft was not in a nice flat hover attitude ( as per his video ) it was pitched up by what felt like 75 to 80 degrees ( same atitude as top of a torque turn )falling on its tail. I cant really see how applying full power and full power pedal would actually do anything. To get out i dumped the lever, full forward cylic and applied full non power pedal, which seemed to work, pulling out about 100 ft from teh ground followed by a change of underwear.
