wing mounted underslung engines

when I went from the tail mounted engines of the DC9 series to the underwing engines of the 737, I made up a rule for myself.

pull throttles back, pull back on yoke

push throttles forward, push forward on yoke

I felt that the engines on the 737 had way too much pitch authority. Though it was quite controllable in the simulator doing stalls.

The DC9 series was so well behaved with thrust applications or reductions, I felt it was a purer form of flying...it left the pitch to the elevator, not the engines.
