I understand the nacelles contributed to a nose up moment, which is in part why the stick forces decreased. But nothing in the literature suggests that the nose would have
kept pitching up absent those same stick forces. You could say that the positive static stability trended toward neutral static stability, but there is no evidence of
negative static stability.
