Analysis
During stall recovery practice, the right control yoke jammed in the full forward position. Recovery was accomplished byplacing both feet on the instrument panel for leverage then pulling the yoke rearward. Investigation revealed that the RH nylon bearing on the right control column had slipped out of the guide and lodged against the exterior of the guide assembly.
