Default RE: cap 232 balloning on landing

Hanson... The engine/drag combo has something to do with it but it is much more related to flight path stability and how the wing and tail moments work out.

The quick and dirty: As speed decreases the moment created by the wing decreases, if this moment decreases faster than the tail force decreases you end up pitching the plane up.
