That's interesting - how was it received all that time later? Not well I guess?

And not entirely impossible to stall!

"circumstances


Take-off, a few meters from the ground, the ULM tilts to the right and take a sharp nose-up attitude. The driver explained that at that time he thought the victim of a turbulence that caused the rupture of a wing. He decides to ask and reduces engine power. The aircraft stalled and crashed into the ground to the right of line 33.


During the accident, the mass of the ULM was less than fifteen kilograms at maximum take-off weight.


In addition to the damage resulting from impact with the ground, it was found that no structural abnormality on the wings."
