Some aircraft would be just as happy to slip or spin in that situation rather then gently point their nose at or below the horizon. I should have emphasized "usually" instead of "fully-developed". | |

So "dropping the nose to level" would still be an example of what I'm asking about, if the plane had previously been in a 25 degree nose up attitude to bring about the stall. | |
