Unrecoverable stall/spin in ta152

[LCADolby]

In my fall from 30,000 feet

 

I have nothing more to add

 

[Noir]

Do anyone have any contemporary flight-report of the TA-152 ?

I find the TA-152 behaviour suspicions too.

seeing how it flies in aces high I wouldn't even go close to a real one!

So what was the point of this thread again? Be in awe before the OP?

[Chalenge]

I have a squaddie that this happens to all the time.

Turn the engine off.
Drop flaps (one notch is usually enough).
Take your feet off the pedals and rock the nose back and forth until it drops.

Dont change yaw inputs rapidly if you slip in for landing.

I had 30,000 feet.......tried every configuration

Just fell tail down for 30,000 feet.


Before you offer "pilot 101" tips, know I've been flying for over 29 years.

If you do not have evidence that it fell nose first IRL you just have to accept the HTC interpretation of its behavior.

Wherefore did you stall in a 152 @ 30k?

[bcadoo]

Kill engine then restart seems to be the best recover technique for the really ugly stalls.  Sometimes it takes a few attempts but torque is your best bet in getting out of an unflyable attitude. (Note: you must be doing all standard stall recovery techniques as well, but it's the engine stop/start that finally breaks the stall)

[Krupinski]

The 152 will actually recover quicker if you pull back on the stick instead of pushing forward... try it.

I don't know about at 30k, but I know I can get it to depart flight pretty much on command in a way no other aircraft in the game does.  If I kick too much rudder in a gentle bank, it skids, then the nose bounces and most of my flight controls get really mushy.  It goes into a skid about 10-15 degrees off the nose, and if I don't immediately rudder into it to get the nose pointed the direction it's going, it destabilizes and gets into the really nasty type of spin/stall described in the OP.  I've only had it actually go tail down once or twice, but far more common is the falling flat, often with very little 'spin' involved.

If memory serves, ruddering full to either direction and a lot of aileron rocking and elevator down varying engine power level got me out of it eventually.  By far the worst stalls I've ever seen in the game.

Usually the only time it bites me is if it happens on final and I don't notice it immediately.

Wicked ground loop 

I'm sure some will argue the point, but this plane does it's best work @ 20K plus, killing bombers.

Thanks, now I know not to do any aerobatics with you.

[Triton28]

Haven't flown it too much, but I have encountered some nasty spins in it.  Then again, at least one was while trying to stall fight Redbull... lol.   

I'm not sure our 152 is the same plane that Kurt Tank outran two 51's in, either.

And I'm not sure it really happened that way it's been portrayed.

It was you, wasn't it?  Kurt Tank was nowhere to be found...   

[Triton28]

But dude... it's even on Wikipedia.  It has to be true.
