Ha Ha Ha good one Nev I can just imagine an ejection seat in a Bobcat.

Hard hat would have fallen off before head hit hard edge anyway so no help. Buy a Bobcat instead.

Rotax deem heat is not required on their turbocharged engines.

Of course you can add a turbo (914) no need for carb heat because the compression of the intake air ( boost) increases the temp.

surely a simple compressor stall is no big deal

Thanks for the addition Nev, I think we are on the same page. I would like to add that speed is not the primary problem in a stall it is the wing load. The normal quoted stall speed is at 1G and is a bit meaning less. eg. if you have a quoted stall speed of say 45Kts. and push foward till the seat load gets light the stall speed may be less than half that, if you are in a steep level turn the stall speed may well be 1.5 times that cos you are pulling back to maintain level. It all comes down to load.

The stall stick position can vary it is not a fixed thing but is real. Of course the CG will move it. Discussion of SSP is a good thing to help understand what is actually happening during the stall. As far as the response goes, by all means step on the rudder to stop the yaw. If a gust caused the wing to stall it would be only momentary and would have recovered from the stall condition before the pilot had time to react. I agree that the teaching methods may not be all that good. It is far smarter to teach that unloading the wing is what fixes the stall which is exactly what reducing back stick does.

Re reading this story over a cuppa. I do not believe that the aircraft did actually stall. To stall you need to reach the "stall stick position" otherwise you cannot get to the critical angle of attack and therefore no stall. Yes it dropped a wing but that is not necessarily a stall just a response to a gust. Stalls are not to be feared just need to be managed.
