You mean you've done one unintentionally?

Yeah - or maybe it just flopped over backwards, I don't know.
So there I was (as Jeff Foxworthy would say) flying my old
CGS Hawk on a nice clear day, all by myself when I started
erasing the stick back & nosing her up - stall - & let the nose drop
back down. Pick up speed again and pull back a little harder.
Let it nose over from the top and pick up a little more speed & pull back
a little more. I was having a blast. Then I guess I let it pick up
too much speed and pulled back too hard because the next thing
I knew I was weightless, all the dirt & stuff in the floor (including an
old coke can) was floating by my head. Then it was over, I was straight
& level (nothing I did to correct the problem) it just recovered on it's own.
Of course now I was at about 700 ft AGL with the engine out looking for a place to land.
Bent the landing gear, but my hands didn't start shaking until after I
landed in this guy's back yard (big yard). It took a while to figure what happened.
