SU-27 Flat stall #8243
I have had this happen to me several times now since I started flying the Flanker. I found this today and hoped that it might help someone else. I'm sure some of you old school 27 guys already knew this. It details how another pilot deals with a stable inverted stall in the Flanker.

Here's my recovery technique:

1) Throttle idle, to prevent flameout and also idle thrust gives enough control authority to recover.

2) Assume direct control (hit the S key!)

3) Fire away all missiles. Press alt-W to activate launch override. (Jettison won't work while
inverted)

3) Trim neutral (Ctrl-T)

4) Start rocking the nose. Stick fully aft to induce nose movement towards the sky, then release stick to neutral to induce nose movement towards the ground. Repeat in sync to increase oscillation.

5) Once the nose is pointed sufficiently downwards (perhaps 45 degrees or more) and you move the stick from neutral to full aft, the plane will recover.

This technique requires minimum altitude of about 3000m.

And thats why I never recovered from that. :D
Thanks for the post though.. We're building tutorials for that plane and the other russian ones, I'd like to include that into it if you don't mind ;)
