If you are bellow stall speed, you fall. That's pretty simple. Only your thrust vector can compensate for it. With the nose on the horizon, the plane should be in a vertical descent no matter what rotational speed he have.
On some occasion on the CoD vid posted here, the plane seems to float in that situation. It shld not happens (check the real vid - see the attitude of the Su26 when the pilot use the "hoovering" effect).
Regarding the P51 hanging bellow his prop, beware of visual distortion. When you are far bellow an object climbing vertically, it's easy to think it does not move.
The T/W ratio of a Lightened P51 is around 0.3. No way it can hoover under it's own prop. The fall down bckwrd is only slowed down, what give you in certain view point the feel that it "float".
