Actually he recovered too soon and hard and initiated a second stall causing the final crash.

@Captn777 no kidding, a wing fence may have been the difference between a couple thousand dollars of repairs here.

well they invented stall strips for a reason, apparently this dc-10 miniature replica didnt have a couple of stall strips.. too bad for the owner i guess :p

@sk8rdude222 Aircraft are not like cars, the term stall comes from the airflow over the wing which breaks up and stops producing enough lift to carry the plane. Swept wings have an even greater problem, once the tip stalls it takes the whole wing with it, causing this plane to roll sharply and nose to the ground. stall recovery is simple though, opposite roll, rudder nose down increase power recover, pitch up.

it wasnt that hard of a break.
He kinnda saved it in the last second by lifting the nose a little.
