Killing the throttle and pushing the stick forward is all that should be required in an La............... no rudder required to regain basic control from stall or spin.................

I've experienced that once in 190A8 but that was a result of pure experiment, and I could not duplicate it. The method and result was basically the same, pulling up to zoom climb straight up and waiting the a/c to stall but after stalling it started to fall down tail first and there was nothing I could do to regain control. Straight to ground tail first.

Never experienced that in combat, though.
