Too bad the video does not show stick positions and controls.

Something to think about when setting a camera up like this.

How's the go around characteristics with full up trim?

Goes around fine with full up trim and even if you forget the flaps and leave them down. It's an excellent stable training platform. I can't understand how he nosed it in like that. The instructor must feel very bad.

I think it falls under the should have zigged but zagged instead scenario.

No matter how much we try things happen.

Hope they both keep flying and the airplane gets fixed.
