Um what?? This is true but with such a shift it would be impossible to create a force on the tailplane to get the nose down to recover. If the rumours are correct about the load shift, then the CoG would be well outside the limit. Are you saying that the aeroplane did exhibit stable stall recovery, or that it would?
