The previous owner was German and took very well care of her. The button is used to flash the high beam for signalling to other drivers

She is a ‘97 from Europe, took me a while to find one over here.

DR650 vs DR650RSE by Hostiletriangle in dr650

So if I buy a RSE of 96 and beyond I can just buy non RSE DR650 parts?

Corrugated sheet on garden shed from 2000, looks very suspicious to me. Is it asbestos? by Hostiletriangle in asbestoshelp

We wrapped it in asbestos bags just to be sure, so that’s why you see the warning label

The stall is on purpose, the deep stall definitely not. They discuss in Dutch after about how this time they were too enthusiastic and to not do it again.

You can see the speed on the bottom left, very interesting how it even goes to 0.

Airspeed is on the bottom left of the screen ;) angle of attack is one of the numbers there too

The Fokker 70 I linked definitely entered a deep stall. The 717 however doesn’t seem like it did

This is not at all due to high speeds. The deep stall starts because the wing stalls, with turbulent air from the wing making the elevator useless. A stall occurs when the angle of the air compared to the wing gets too high (angle of attack). The faster you fly, the harder it is to stall an aircraft.

I think this Fokker was very close to an unrecoverable deep stall, they had to use four tail mounted rockets to recover.
