The only time a Tiger is stable is in a spin - which will get you down through cloud as long as you have enough cloudbase for the subsequent recovery. Only to be used in extremis!!
There is a famous photo of a Tiger in a vertical dive about six feet off the ground, can't find the photo at the moment, seem to recall it was the result of a spin, pilot survived virtually unscathed I seem to recall. Perhaps the Tiger is the same as a test pilot jokingly said of a Cub, it can barely kill you. Loved the Tiger spin Mogwi, and the Chipmunk, save for the clattering and banging of the canopy.
