Yes but.....

When disorientation bites you may have very little time to gather things up and restore order, ask yourself if you are going to send your thought processes around the 'what is causing this?' circle before adopting a recovery strategy. My suggestion is that you may be better off just sorting the thing out with not even a nano second of delay. I'm not sure about other types but certainly the 139 has a great deal of control power and if the AP misbehaves or drops out the response levels are so high that you can be upside down in two or three seconds. It's been done for real so no hyperbole here.
