Real time FDR data and such

@ Lyman.....

The relatively intact impact and wreckage pics was what prompted me to postulate the "deep stall" theory. Then I had good inputs from others here and got to see some FCOM documents and so forth. It became obvious that you could fly the 'bus into a very deep stall and have reasonable lateral control and even pitch control. But sooner or later ya gotta relax the back pressure or even push the stick forward and see what happens.

Gotta tellya that the HUD I had in the Viper and Sluf used real time inertial data for the flight path marker and AoA and vertical velocity and alt and speed and heading........ When you see the AoA bracket at the top of the HUD and speed is slow......duhhhhhh.

I am having my LEF failure video digitized so all can see how neat the HUD was when you are making the first landing attempt with serious stuff not working like it's programmed to do.
