Spit 14 stall and recovery?

[kamilyun]

I saw a thread somewhere recently about a Ki-84 vs a Spit 14.  Decided to take up a 14.

Tried to drag and La7 up (think I start 6-7K, at about 350mph)  Don't remember exactly where I topped off (looking behind me at La7) but when I saw him stalling, I deployed flaps, gently pulled back on stick to finish my loop to drop down on him.

Well...as the title suggests, I stalled.  Totally unrecovable.  Tried chop trottle + rudder to get nose down...flaps and no flaps...full trottle...ailerons...

Had a frantic minute or so to try everything to get my plane moving (besides down) and couldn't.

Is this typical of Spit 14?  Avoid stalls at all costs?  Or can you recover?

Its not just you kamil. Happens all the time to me too.

 When you feel that nasty stall coming, try retract the flaps, as it seems to even more disturb the airflow and delay your plane from going nose-down to recover... and then push forward on stick in an attempt to get the nose down. If it still doesn't come down, turn the engine off, start kicking rudder left right left right in intervals so your plane begins to oscillate - hopefully, at some point in the oscillation your plane will swerve to one side, droop one wing and finally, get the nose down.

hey kam
ya its pretty typical of the 14 especially in the turning stall
but sometimes u can recovere just keep airspeed high from now on kinda like a mossie stall not so appealing lol
