I would surmise that with full nose down stab, there is no way any nose-up elevator input would overcome it at normal speeds. The faster you go, the worse it would become. Probably why this aeroplane crashed the way it did. Or do you think the crew just let the nose drop while being occupied with something else?

I don't know about your aeroplane, but if I set mine up at low level with the clean UA config power setting, the thing will shortly be going like a rocket.
