Mine will do that with a Classic wing, but with power OFF (and it helps if 
the
CG is well forward)!
But then the Classic has more washout.
However, if some rudder is booted in or if in turbulent conditions, then the
effect is very much like that of a Tomahawk i.e spin entry, which can then
be controlled very quickly (if it is has been anticipated!!).
