Default RE: Nose drops when throttle is cut.

On full size airplanes (like cessnas) it's very normal. It's called downwash and it's when the spinning draft coming from the prop hits the stabilizer on the top and keeps it leveled. When you cut the throttle, this force is removed and the nose pitches down. T-tail airplanes don't have this issue.
