You can, and should, pull the nose up if it's necessary, especially to avoid a hard landing. Obviously there's a limit that will generate a tail strike. I think it's seven degrees.

I thought there was a comment in the manual about a .5(?) change in pitch attitude between F3 and Ffull? If you have to worry about .5 degrees of pitch - go around.

Fly the plane within its limits, realize that different configurations slightly improve, or worsen, flying and landing qualities, and it's a non event.
