The bird will sink, the air catches the horizontal stab - and with nearly no Speed will push the nose down
(even if it is disigned to raise the nose normally)
Reminds me about fun in the Navy...
Was quite cool on the Lynx, flying backwards at higher speeds and then just giving a notch nose down - getting the bird into pointing vertical down 😉
