As I recall, you said it stabilized at about 80 kts, reduced power, slight
descent.
Sounds like you had a nice approach set up. 80 might be a tad high for a
light
206. At what speed did it stabilize with no power?

Also sounds like the phugoid contributed to the adrenaline level.

Gee Greg, sure wish you had been in the airplane with me. You could
have explained to the airplane that it wasn't "likely" to do what it was
doing. Ok, perhaps it wouldn't have exceeded the critical AOA causing a
stall, but the pitch angle was going to be excessive. If left alone it
would have pitched over seeking trim speed with a resultant zoom right
back up. Not a ride I wanted to participate in...and I'm comfortable
with pitch and bank angles that most people probably are not comfortable
with.

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing
as simply messing around with airplanes.
