Dive exit – tried to go straight into a head
down but flipped onto back. Went head down again and got a stable position –
could see horizon was straight with ground “up” and sky “down”. Maintained
for approx 4 secs and lost balance. Tried to sit but got half way and tipped
backwards. Stopped trying things at 7,000. Tracked towards PLA for 5 seconds.
Pulled at 4,000. Landed within 5m of target. |
