Mosquito stalls and spins.

Very sad but notice how similar it looks to what happens when you lose it in AH2. He loses the back end and then is fighting the gyration whilst trying to point the nose down and regain AoA. Almost made it. This is very familliar if you have ever flown the AH2 mossy. good job on the model HTC.

A humble S! and prayer to the pilot and family.

I hear lots of complaints, not saying you are complaining, about the fubar flight model of our mossi. I've never had a problem with its stall and spin tendencies, very easily managed... heck I'll even put her into a spin to get that last second of nose on target kill shot. Last months mid-war tour I went 60 for 12 in it.

maybe i was not clear, i am commending HTC's model, as it seems just like this real life clip.

I believe the cause of the crash was the loss of power in one if it's engines.

 You can hear him cut the power after the first spin to try and stop the gyration.

I saw a Fairey Firefly crash at Duxford 2 or 3 years ago. The end of that clip reminded me, as the commentator said 'we've all seen what happened..' Same thing was said at Duxford. I was due for a Tigermoth flight after the display, so I got an aerial view of the wreckage. Never a pleasant thing to watch.

As for the flightmodel, I remember the earlier issues with stalls and loss of control, now happily fixed since the update.
