Hi All,
I was looking at some footage of some recent incidents and accidents at the Red Bull air race involving impacting the water. Thinking about the high speed stall I was wondering what the loading on the tail plane (and thus the control stick) would be like, at the time of the high-speed stall. I would have thought that the stick would feel unloaded, albeit momentarily, with a massive drop in the nose. With the aircraft such as these on the air race would there be some load given the lesser angle of attack and some prop wash?
Can anyone give me a description of what the loading and control is like of these aircraft in this phase of flight?
Have a look at what I've been looking at

For some reason I am getting a white box for the youtube link?
