Narrative:
Upon initiating a go around, the instructor added full power and began retracting flaps not knowing the student would pull up on the controls. With the loss of airspeed and increased stall speed as the flaps were retracting from 30 degrees to 20 degrees, the aircraft stalled with no warning. Flow strips on all trainers may prevent a recurrence. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporting instructor states that the aircraft was 'totaled' by the insurance company. A report was made to the NTSB. The only injuries were 'a little whiplash.' the FAA has not proceeded against the reporting instructor.

Narrative: UPON INITIATING A GAR, THE INSTRUCTOR ADDED FULL PWR AND BEGAN RETRACTING FLAPS NOT KNOWING THE STUDENT WOULD PULL UP ON THE CTLS. WITH THE LOSS OF AIRSPD AND INCREASED STALL SPD AS THE FLAPS WERE RETRACTING FROM 30 DEGS TO 20 DEGS, THE ACFT STALLED WITH NO WARNING. FLOW STRIPS ON ALL TRAINERS MAY PREVENT A RECURRENCE. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTING INSTRUCTOR STATES THAT THE ACFT WAS 'TOTALED' BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. A RPT WAS MADE TO THE NTSB.
