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?

As I said in another thread, our (BGA-approved) cloud flying course says
to open the brakes and then use your hands and feet to hold rudder and
stick central - exactly the opposite of 'letting go of the stick'.

Mark: Chukar does say that he felt a stall and then the speed increased
rapidly to 160kts.
