I agree, great explanation Eddie.

Jetmutt, should the aircraft start to oscillate, you would be much better off doing what Eddie suggests and what I have had to do, and that is reduce power and climb to scrub off airspeed. Once under control, you will then have plenty of time to fumble for switches and knobs to make adjustments. No matter how many times you practice flipping that switch, when the time comes to do it for real it will take you longer to find and flip the switch than it will to throttle back and climb.

I've been there, and had to do it.
