so I will need to explain my perfectly clear and highlighted in bold quote was saying the elevators remain effective in the stall, did you get that?
OK....

Come on and let's do some stalls.

You try to keep the nose up with elevator!!!



You understand the aerodynamic center in a normal stable airplane is behind the Center of Gravity. When our wing produces less lift, the reduction in aerodynamic force on the aerodynamic center causes the nose to drop. It is not hard to size the elevator appropriately. In fact, the forward CG limit is defined by our inability to raise the nose at landing velocity (not Vref, flare).
