Ozone Delta 2 SIV: Full Stall (plus cravat clearing)



Raw footage from Annecy of an early attempt at full stall that was allowed to thrash a bit too much and horseshoe, enabling the left wing tip to become trapped in the lines.

Stabilizer pull cleared the first bit but had no impact afterwards. Correction finally required 30% asymmetric, hand over hand on stabilizer, and brake pumps to re-inflate.

The brake pressure at the stall point is extremely pronounced. Simply put, there is no excuse for a pilot 'accidentally' stalling this wing.

Camera is leg mount GoPro with wide-angle, so the pulls are a lot deeper than it appears at first glance.
Subsequent stalls resulted in varying degrees of cravat, though were addressed much more quickly/aggressively.
