Call me sadistic, call me evil, but I do kinda like watching really stupid people die. It gives me hope there's some kind of cosmic justice system.
Maybe learn about angle of attack before you jump in a plane you have no idea how to fly.

Think it was classic stall/spin.

Biplane? Did it fly both ways?

What the fuck? He just kept raising the nose as airspeed dropped...

Then he should have chopped and dropped

Kill the engine, push the stick forward.

imo this would make it worse. If the nose is rising and you can't get it down bc of CG, pulling power is going to substantially decrease the airflow over the tail and cause even less control authority. I am of the mind that a situation like that would require you to bank so that you could try to stop the nose from rising and build up enough airspeed to have enough control authority to maintain straight and level flight where you can try to remedy the CG issue.

That ARRRGH made me laugh hard for some reason. I guess I wasn't expecting to hear it.
