No screenshots I'm afraid (way too tired).
I did it three times and wondered what you meant until the 3rd effort.
I got the stall warning all 3 times but on the third, it was VERY slow to pick up speed again. I lost 8,000 feet of altitude (from 10,000) before recovering.

Quiet I assume you are talking about doing a stall turn following a hard climb? A bit passe....
I'm working on something at the moment that'll make everyones eyeballs pop out of their head!!!!

ok... I mean... try crusing at top speed and turn (to the Left or right) as hard as you can.... thus making your tail spin... as if peeling out in a car... but.. try to do it soo hard u make it in 180 deg. then recover by any means possible except pointing your nose down to gain speed

Oh a flat spin. No worries, but actually the way you describe it wouldn't be possible, you need to use the rudder and juggle the throttle settings on the engines to induce yaw.

i think he means litterally turning a full 180 wing tip pointing to the ground and doing it all in a 0 meter turning circle, thus when you exit the turn you will still be flying the direction your started from but now backwards, which wouldnt be possible as even the Su27 cant do this and its tail slide doesnt allow full backwards flight just enough to slow it down:)
