Ta 152 Tailslide and Inverted Flat Spin

[AndyJWest]

 

Tailslides are always a bit of an unknown, and this one resulted in an inverted flat spin. The engine definitely didn't like it.

Ta 152 has basically fatal flat spin. It maybe only aircraft in game in which I've experienced a flat spin. Still getting acquainted with it.

Nice vid! It spun because you ran a high power setting up to the very top of the zoom,  which resulted in a torque roll at the top. When it flipped,  you had very limited control authority to counter gyro forces. Power back near the top of a zoom for a tail slide, which is in general very benign because gyro forces, torque, and prop-wash are minimal. If you set up a nice unbiased tailslide, you can maintain the nose up vertical attitude while sliding backwards for a few dozen meters by reverse-controlling elevator and rudder.

 

Spitfires are also easy to flat spin inverted.
