About this video
I tried low level high alpha with the crow flaps and ended up eating pavement. I knew it was risky but took the risk anyhow, even knowing the nasty tip stall tendency this jet has - regardless of how much I've mitigated it using crow ailerons.
Such is life when you keep trying to push the limits of what these airframes are capable of. If I had used more thrust I would've been fine - next time, assuming there is one, I'll perform an alpha pass 10 feet higher up to give myself a stall buffer.
