I strongly suggest you review those text books with your mates. Perhaps you could quote them here because your conclusions do not match current aerody theory. There is a real difference between LTE and rotor drooped LTA, Loss of control or loss of thrust.

And guess what - they all have different recovery requirements, no matter how much you and your buddies decide it is all so simple.

Mate that is not LTE, though let me assure you, LTE does exist. If you are putting in left pedal, that is due to streamlining unloading the T/R by enabling the vertical fin to provide some thrust and translational lift reducing inducd power, nothing to do with LTE, LTA, etc. The T/R is working too well, not well enough. Call it translational lift.
