Default RE: Flaps and tip stall

Depends on your definition of "nothing"...
With my Senior Kadets, full flap and full power results in a uncontrollable pitch up. I plain run out of down elevator to push the nose down. The -only- way to get out of the situation is to raise the flaps.
OTOH, putting the flaps down at moderate to idle power, and it needs just a tad of elevator to keep the nose where it should be, and the plane will fly at about 12 mph, without any excessive pitch.
