I had a flying buddy do something similar last fall in a Velocity.
Sort of a falling leaf maneuver that he inadvertently entered and
could not escape from. He went all the way to planet earth. He
walked away alright, but never would have left the field alive if not
for a farmer who saw him go down. Don't try it!

A Velocity is a Canard, isn't it? They have some weird issues with
mushing. Leaving my plane trimmed for the bottom of the green arc, I was
pulling back pretty hard to maintain this attitude. The slightest
relaxation and the plane was picking up speed again. Like any stall, I make
sure recovery is complete and level flight regained at least 2000 agl.
