I experienced it somtimes when using flaps in slow speed maneuvering.
I can't recover it always...it might be bug?
This happened to me twice the first day the Hayate was available. The first time I had enough altitude to recover, the second time I was too low.
What happened was that the plane departed and snap rolled left into a flat drop, with zero forward velocity. No rotation, absolutely no thrust effect. I've seen this same behavior in other aircraft, most notably, the Mosquito. This began when AH2 went live. I never saw it in the beta or in AH1. It's something in the general flight model that causes this. I posted a film of this behavior a few months ago, and it showed the airspeed indicator showing a negative airspeed, which is impossible as pitot tubes face forward. I'd say that it is a bug.
My recovery procedure is to chop power, retract the flaps, lower the landing gear, apply full rudder and aileron deflection and then ram the throttle to full power. If I can get the nose to drop and have sufficient height, I can recover. The problem is that you need about 10,000 feet to recover.
Maybe we need optional anti-spin chute installed.
