That would have spun it over inverted really quick with no time to figure out which condition produced it. Flaps up or flaps down. Not enough time to move the lever either way to try to correct.
From the sounds of the engine and the angle the plane angered into the ground, its resembling a control surface failure. Pilots couldn't unfuck the issue in time to recover and into the ground it went. Reminds me of the dramatic crash at the 2011 Reno Air Races when Galloping Ghost went into the stands because elevator trim-tab separated. |
