The Ercoupe gear doesn't really caster either. It is a trailing
link gear. While it will swing some, it wants to return to the
center afterwards.

Dive. Yank back the yoke. No stall?
Always wondered about that.

You can cause a stall using the technique you mention. But, you'll never
accidentally stall one just puttering around. I understand that if you know
what you're doing and are dumb/brave enough to try, you can even barrel roll
one.

But what's it like? Fall out of the sky? Tendency to spin? Just
release backpressure to recover? How much altitiude loss?

In all these years, somebody must have tried it and reported.

Rolls and loops are the reason for Service Bulletin 32. See
http://jimsladesairlines.com/sb32.html about SB32. Also see
http://www.ercoupe.org/ercoupers_faq.htm for more information on the landing
gear, rudder pedals, stalls/spins, etc...

Interesting it says "castoring wheels and the steerable nose wheel could align with the runway on impact." I think they
should re-word it to say something like "main landing gear with lots of castor and the steerable nose wheel would align
the airplane with the runway on touchdown."
