Having 3000+ hours in the Saab 340B I know where you are coming from. Even though the stabilator might be symmetrical, the angle of attack that it has will cause a moment in one direction or the other to balance out the center of lift compared to cg. Because when the stab separated and the aircraft pitched down, this lead me to believe that the center of lift was aft of the cg. This tells me that normal flaps would move it further back causing a more downward movement. Doesn't matter really bc as soon as the stab departed the plane was toast
Maybe Al Haynes could've landed it but not someone normal.
