Considering that at the point of impact
  1. The stabilizer was set "full aircraft nose up"
  2. The stick was commanded "full aircraft nose up"
  3. The elevators were set "full aircraft nose down" trying to limit normal load at 2.5G
  4. The aircraft was pitching nose up with approx 2.5G normal load (~5 deg/sec).
Is it correct to say that

Should there be sufficient altitude (so they did not crash into water at the lowest point of the dive), aircraft would pass zero pitch (horizontal) and continue pitching upwards at the same rate (~5 deg/sec, incorrectly assuming unchanged airspeed)?

That is, unless trim was moved to neutral. Because full pilot authority to control in pitch axis was giving about 2.5G normal load "pitching up"?
