Just that will nose it down. But it was different than the wing stalling

there may be a decreased downwash over the horizontal
stabilizer, which would produce a downward pitching motion.


I can't see it in a downwash while flaring. It's pretty close to the
ground. Reduced airflow I could buy but in that situation it would still
be firm and responsive to input.

Ah well....
