I worked with Lowell for several years at Premier Air Center, he was a great 
guy. He told me a story about one of his first flights in that aircraft with 
a very experienced pilot at the controls and himself as passenger/student. 
One of the first few things on the flight list was to determine the stall 
speed , this was about 3000 AGL and I'm guessing they had a VERY aft CG with 
two aboard. The aircraft pitched up severely and would not recover. All I 
remember of the rest was that he told me the pilot was screaming at him to 
lean/move forward as they both did. They lost about 2500' during the 
prolonged recovery. He told me he spent the rest of the flight plastered 
against the instrument panel. Big Fun! He was building a long e-z at the 
time I was working with him, said they were supposed to be "stall proof"
