Your airspeed indicator could be off that much. If no turbulence was present, the recovery was smooth,....a visual inspection for wrinkled skins on the aft-lower wing and a check for cracks/wrinkles on the horiz. stab/rear bulkhead would probably be sufficient to reassure you.johnsunday wrote:Brad,
Only lasted for a few seconds, 10 at most. Gonna do Del's inspection recommendation this week-end.
