If it was stalled, the pilot did not have or did not use an AOA. So sad a loss of beauty and talent, and so needlesws a tragedy.
OBTW, finally first-flighted yesterday.  Damned if it ain't flew!
I finally figured out the wierd t/o control response was a little out of rig rudder plus a lot of P-factor.  Standing on the right rudder, it flies very nicely, smooth, guiet, and instant response to near-stall recovery input from my 'spats' on the h-tail.  Added a tail tab.  More investigation today as I build time in the test area. Well worth the five years of work, frustration, and trying to understand other folks engineering instruction manuals, and my electronic ignorance.  Hope to get some photos today.
