I am with you completely Mike. And many times it’s a bad repair causing different AOI between the 2 sides then corrected and masked by washout which will make it fly hands off BUT look out in a full stall.Give it time. You will. I did a demo flight in a Scout right out of the factory. First stall…nothing aggressive, thing got right on its back. Flew really nice after it was properly rigged. Unfamiliar planes, I’m ALWAYS on high alert, and EVERY one gets stalled early.

I have not had a Cub drop a wing in a power on stall. This surprises me because a series on power on , power off, flaps, no flaps is one of the first things I do in any Cub I fly.
4 seat cub went down in Kodiak today. Pilot did not survive. Crashed shortly after takeoff from municipal
This happened today at my airport. Globe Swift that hadn’t moved in years was being run up in its tie down.
Also got a 172 and a Mooney.
Owww! No pretty places to park there. Was the pilot the only one aboard?

So the rest of the story is 180 HP Swift being run in the tie down. Owner decided to get out while it was tied down and running at low power. He managed somehow to kick the throttle to full power with one foot in the cockpit and one foot out. He went along for the wild ride. A contributing factor was how the tiedown rings were attached to the wing SKIN!
Maybe I'm profiling but I'm curious as to the person's age.
I was thinking the same, probably a teenager
