or is the SS manipulated, i.e. what is necessary, considering FCS elevator response, to hold a constant pitch attitude while stalled? If not continuing full forward, how do you do this? Some occasional aft SS necessary? (rhetorical)
Perhaps I should have written "assumed to be flown at a constant pitch attitude"
Even in the stall the aircraft always responded to elevator is a conventional manner, and I didn't really anticipate any difficulty in using the stick to maintain constant pitch. So I didn't give the practical piloting technique a lot of thought

But as you say, I didn't intend it to be taken too far - I was just curious to know whether there was, in fact, any chance of recovery.
