Kramer,

The secondary effect on the aircraft from use of the elevator (up) is that the speed reduces. The secondary effect of putting the power up is that the nose rises. It works "well" in a bugsmasher because they are so stable, but try it next time you're handflying down the ILS at 140kts in your jet.
