If I read this right, you probably had too much torque on one side, causing it to flatspin. This happens to me in F4U's a lot, when I try to slow down fast I kick my rudder, but if I slow down too much I get into a flat spin I can't get out of.

You were coming back after shooting 2-3 planes that you don't remember ?
Or was it, you don't remember losing one engine because you collided with someone ?
:rolleyes:
Think about it ...
Landing speed
plus
Landing gear
plus
Full flaps
plus
One engine
Spikes ... I'm sure you know this ... the Me-262 does not have torque and it has tri-cyle landing gear, although, power-on to one jet engine at stall speed could most likely feel like it had torque.

Yes, I know, and I've had situations many times where I have had one engine...it feels like it has torque.

well if you fly aroud with a p38 with one engine off. the plane does seem to yaw to the side that the engine is on. maybe this contributed to your flat spin. were you at full throttle when you stalled?
i dont fly the 262 much but im guessing that one engne on full throttle and get very slow if you use too much rudder it could contribute to losing control.
