Back to the subject

I have read the C152 POH and says nothing about tailplane stall. Although i could have missed it.

I haver thrown aerobats around (got the apprpriate cert. in case anyone jumps down my throat) and have not had it happen on a 152. But I am sure it's possible.

But, I have intentionally been in a tailplane stall on a flight test in a europa. It was intended. If anyone has not experienced it, it's a bit saucy .

Best thing is not to give ourselves or especially students the idea of pole'ing the aircraft that much to induce one.

I still would not contemplate spinning a PA28 of any king from less than 30,000 feet with an airbag, side impact bars and a matter transfer device to beam me out.
