Default Horizontal Stab stalling/ ballooning?

The CAP design is a notorious tip-staller.
What you are describing is an incipient tip-stall due to insufficient airspeed.
I've found it wise to land my CAPs somewhat faster than the equivalent Extra, say.
A tad too much aileron in the "balloon" situation and over it will go.
