    Stall characteristics of a Quicksilver

    I have a Quicksilver Sport 2S. My flying history, however, has all been in aircraft with the engine out in front. So I have found it interesting that when I reduce power, the nose pitches up instead of down. After thinking about it, it now sounds logical since the engine is aft of the CG.

    I have only had my Quicksilver for one full flying season (2013) and decided not to do any stall practice until I fully understand what the stall characteristics are. For instance, with the engine aft of the CG, how does that impact stall recovery? Will the tail have a tendency to drop instead of the nose?

    Anyone have any Quicksilver stall experience? Or a similarly configured aircraft?
