Apologies if this stretches the topic, but if this aircraft flies anything like a 172, then ...

initiating a go-around (full throttle) from a balked landing with full flaps and full nose up trim, will make the bloody thing basically try to go straight up, slowing down ...

My instructor put me through this really early on and in this configuration it took most of my strength to hold the nose down, after application of full power.

Points:. .1. This is an easy way to crash... departure stall. .2. holding the nose down is the effort most likely to disengage a dodgy seat lock ... also crash
