A short highlight from my sixth glider flight ever from this past summer. Got to practice my first stall recovery. A lot of fun!

As a fresh pilot, I have to say that we train two versions of stall preventions. Mild one, where you are teetering on the brink of a stall, and a hard one, where you must react very energicaly to stop the stall (pushing forward). What you did was just to endure stall and let the glider to recover itself, which won't work in every glider, especially if you stall over your wing into a spin (which you almost did), which then requires more corrections.

Does a wing always drop during the stall? And why neutral for recovery instead of giving it down elevator?

Good questions, I’m by bo means an expert, but I suspect the left wing dropped here due to the wind coming from the right or simply just a small left input on the stick while pulling. But doing it in a sim also gives the same result. I guess there is less drag than tipping over forward. To your second question, my instructor said that giving forward pressure would increase the duration of the stall. I guess it could also lead to an inverted spin if not corrected quickly enough.

wing drop happens when one wing stalls before the other, and unless corrected leads into a spin (or spiral dive if the glider regains airspeed and the wings are not then levelled). 'move the stick forward to recover, monitor the airspeed, then recover from the dive' is always better than sitting and waiting to see what happens next.
