It always amuses me when someone says an airplane is stall proof.

If you dive and pull up into a vertical climb what happens when the

airplane

stops climbing and just plain stops. Does the nose only drop 3 or 5 degrees
and start flying again or does it fall completely through to a vertical
dive or does it fall over backwards? What about the torque reaction from

the

prop when the airplane is vertical and is not moving?

Paul,

    Right on.  Same with spin proof.  I knew an instructor who used to pick
up pocket money by betting he could make Ercoupes spin. (You pull it up with
power on until the plane is shuddering, then push the door open.)
