Default Accident report removed?

I have stalled the fin several times on a Nimbus-3. To make the beast turn, it took full aileron and rudder and if the ailerons didn't react fast enough, the full rudder could stall the fin. If it did, the dirty air cast from the stalled fin, would suck the rudder full over with a thud as the rudder hit its stop! At the same time the other rudder pedal would snap back smartly. It took all the force I could muster to force the rudder back to neutral!
Just saying,
JJ
