Yes DJ77, I wonder whether this 'lack of persistence' with ND inputs, was because no time in training (since ab initio) seems to have been allocated to 'stall recovery' - whereas 'stall avoidance' seems to have taken the allocated 'stall' training time... Without this recovery emphasis, few other than long time (old hands) would have any appreciation of what it takes to rotate such a beast back to a sensible AoA + time to accelerate back to a sensible speed.

That's I think what I was trying to get at a few posts back... I just wish I had the wisdom to chose those words - nicely put rrr
