Default Glider Tail Stall

Jim,

Thanks for sharing your story. What I'm most gratified to learn is
that normal recovery techniques worked.

I am pretty sure I have encountered a tail stall due to a gust experienced
in straight and level flight in a K18 at 50kts. I was alarmed to find
myself suddenly pointing at the ground! Normal recovery worked.
