Andy RR, a Supercub may not fly at quite that speed and AoA but if properly rigged and with one POB it would not drop a wing and dive into the ground. It would reach a very high rate of sink but would recover from a semi stalled situation with a bit of power. Hence my comment previously on airframe rigging. It is pretty standard in the bush in a Supercub to get into a short strip over the trees to hold the stick back until airframe buffet and recover the resulting high sink rate with a large application of power then close throttle and land. Does take a bit of practice first.
