I experimented a little further. If I give the plane a stall by gradually reducing power and trying to keep my vsi 0, then release the stick and wait for some semblance of order to return. I notice that the stall develops on one wing and then eventually the plane will return to level, but it doesn't stop here as I'd expect... it continues downward, wildly oscillating, gradually returning to stable flight.
The following article says the stall propagates from the wing tip, which is consistent with the first part of the stall, I'm not convinced about the last bit though. It's also quite an interesting read. http://www.centercomp.com/cgi-bin/dc3/stories?1901 btw how do you use replay?
