Oleg several of the guys on another website (all real life pilots) believe the spit will not recover and crashes shortly after this screenshot, to quote:

"I'd just like to state for the record that, full right aileron or not, the Spit in the second pic is f****d."

"Not necessarily - the stick is pushed forward (elevator position), giving some lift away from the ground - might be close though if the engine doesn't 'cough'."

"I agree. It actually puts me on edge looking at that shot.

I reckon you'd need some extra 300 roll-rate to get out of that one alive."

Your thoughts?
