I've had the same experience in the Cessna 172E Skyhawk that I fly. I can add this to Dave's observations: I haven't been able to cause the nose to drop in an attempted descending power-off turn stall. Some at Cessna did a GREAT job with this aircraft! BUT, I've never tried to stall a C-172E fully loaded -- I fly in the utility category most of the time. So, our observations may not be valid, depending on how the simulated aircraft is loaded. How is the model in question balanced?
