I regularly practice stalling but up to now have generally only done so when fairly straight and level. With all the discussion about stalling in the turn, I thought I would have a go yesterday. Climbed to about 5000ft. and tried stalling in various configurations. Flaps down I couldn’t really get the aircraft to drop a wing although I didn’t put in a lot of rudder. However, stalling clean with the aircraft balanced and about 20/30 degrees of bank, the wing dropped violently and the rotation continued until I very rapidly found myself completely inverted. Cushions, maps etc. all over the place. The aircraft pulled out without any problem (not quite sure which way as I was somewhat disoriented) but I lost somewhere over 500 foot in the process.
A salutary lesson and will certainly make me think hard about maintaining airspeed and being careful in turns nearer to the ground.

Hi Richard,
I wouldn't mind seeing you demonstrate that one on0 the next DOTH.
Did the aircraft really sort it self out, or did0 you have something to do with it?
Best regards.

Bryan.
Yep. I just centred the stick and waited for something to happen that I could recognise; i.e. nose down, speed increasing. Then I think I just blinked a couple of times levelled the wings and pulled out. The aircraft did most of the sorting. I guess I am just happy that it didn’t start to spin inverted as I haven’t learned how to get out of that one. Don’t really want to try either.
Cheers.
Richard.
