Tip Stall

OK So there is Supposedly no such thing as a tip stall. So let me just reword that to One wing dropped and the other popped.

Left wing dropped due to over reaching the Clmax AoA with Aileron down. and the other wing would have more lift than that wing for the brief moment.

It baffles me as to why it did regain lift and not continue to roll over.
looks very similar to the SU27 flight in the Ukraine.

look at the 35-36 second mark of that one.

I would like to get a raw vid of the Brazilian Swan dive so I/we could pause and frame advance. especially the one mounted on the rudder.
