I don't see any mention that the bladder tank was in any way baffled. The 750 fpm climb seems quite good. Was the turn onto 257 deg to set course? Did he level off temporarily at 1502', or is it just a coincidence that's were things went awry. Could the back and forth 'wave action' in the bladder tank have caused him the 'chase' the trim until he lost control ?
