 Gents,
   Lancairs are a handfull in a stall/spin.  For one who has been there, I was
climbing out IMC at about 5000" when my S-Tec A/P commanded a hard up due to
R/F interference in my control stick wires as I responded to a Tower radio
transmission. Those A/P disconnect wires have now been removed from the
stick..Entry was a bit violent and sudden !!! Pulled power, fought, then
disconnected the A/P, hit full oppopsite rudder and came out at 1900' in VFR.
Speed was high, in the Yellow during a power off leveling out..  I don't plan
to stretch the envelope again, but spin training in a docile T-34 made this
msg possible.. Hope this helps someone..sometime..  Regards Ds

[ accelerated stalls are also kinda skairy... while trying to
confuse a new ahars today I had the *lower* wing's flow separate and
did two or three flips before I could get the nose down.. dang,
when bitching betty is yelling at you, lessen, it isn't worth it..
it also took fewer Gs than I would have licked.. -Rob ]
