Reheat,
your remark about oil under the a/c reminds me of an incident I had. the friend I mentioned above, and I were always trying to outdo each other, one day he came back and told me he had recovered from a stall turn inverted, rather than pulling through. So, off I went to try the same; discovered how slippery the 'dog is going down vertical and how inefective the elevator is when applying negative g. Also, we had a restriction of -2g i think it was. Eventually recovered inverted at some horrendous speed and slightly over the 8second -ve g limit, and RTBd a bit sheepish. Thought i'd got away with it until I saw the engineers mouths drop as they approched the a/c after shutdown. It's amazing how spectacular a pint of oil can look when spread over a fuselage!
Happy days, indeed.
