I would throw out everything you have got and DON'T LET GO OF THE STICK. The plane's stick free pitch stability is MUCH worse than its stick fixed stability. When you let go, you are a passenger, accepting whatever the upset brings you. Stay active, and aware of what is happening, and you have a chance. Even if Active is just holding the stick in one position.



Where does this "let go of the stick" comes from? Never seen it in any glider flight manual. Is there some magical airplane that does right control inputs to get you out of trouble?
