Indeed, I assumed that, but sometimes it is best I ask to make sure I have my mind right since I am not familiar with the type.

Lonewolf, yes, absolutely an accelerated stall. You might get a wing drop in a 1g stall. I would explain the mechanics of it, but better I leave it to a QFI or someone with more Hunter hours than I.
Thanks.

Yes I know it's a "discussion" forum, but I can't help thinking of Monty Python and the Argument sketch at various points in this thread.
Taking the Python, are we?
