What characteristics of a hydraulics system contribute to jack stall?

ShyTorque,

Thanks for the answer. I must admit it's much simpler than I was thinking - I was assuming it was something like the servos being rate limited or something, but it makes sense that the system needs a pressure relief. I'm just surprised that the system is built without adequate margin for aggressive maneuvering. I guess like any aircraft, you need to watch weight and not over-design. Still, it sounds like it's pretty easy to induce!

Thanks again...

Paul
