The plane snaps after the wing stalls.
The wing stalls after the elevator makes it reach a high AOA.
It will help reducing the elevator deflection to the minimum necessary to flare the plane during a dead stick condition with full tank of fuel.
Even with ailerons off-set up some (with which you reduce camber and incidence of the wing), a strong elevator still will take the wing beyond the critical AOA easily.
The deflection of the rudder, however, should be strong, so you have capability to effectively counteract any vices coming from that twisted tail.
As you know, in a snap roll, is the action of the rudder what determines what half-wing flies slower and stalls first.
