I'm assuming no fuel imbalance or rigging issues that could cause a bank input entry into the there is no reason for you to have a fugoid. when you pull off throttle the aircraft simulataneously slows slightly and enters a glide decent. I've never encountered any phugoid tendency in that manouver. I know of one instance where this occurred in real life. a couple of years ago there was a charter flight out of perth in a pressurised twin. there was some pressurisation problem and the pilot wasnt quick enough getting to the mask to stay concious. the end result was that the aircraft climbed way above unpressurised breathing altitude and all on board died. the aircraft crossed australia until somewhere in queensland it ran out of fuel. the aircraft was being tracked by others and the report is that the aircraft entered a gentle glide decent and was destroyed in the impact. there was no report of instability during the last part of the flight.
