Owain Glyndwr's numbers show a 10deg ND steady pitch attitude
- I admit I cannot understand these figures - with an AoA of 35-40 degrees, and a pitch attitude of ?13-18 degrees? an instantaneous change to 10 degrees nose down still leaves you with an (admittedly improving) AoA (ball park) of between 12 and 17 degrees. ie no 'instant' unstall. How long do you wait? Are we not confusing attitude with Aoa here? Go back to ?mm's? early AoA pics and overlay a 10 degrees nose down pitch.

I am also uncertain how representative a sim exercise would be with AoAs of that value - can they even be achieved and is the software up to the job?
