In reading the previous links and a few other articles on LTE, I've noticed that almost every aircraft "decends" after experiencing LTE. Why is that? Why wouldn't the a/c simple spin, or I guess a better question is what factors rob the a/c of power?

Nick, being one of the newer generation of newbie pilots, I can tell you the "LTE" is found in most of the training curriculum out there. Just trying to understand your definitions of over pitching. Are you saying that when we brought the B47 into an OGE cross-wind hover (about 2500' MSL / 2000' AGL) that it was over pitching that caused the tail to come around like that? Please explain.
