I doubt the control stick is linked to the tailplanes, probably just an animation of the stick leaning to the right with the pilot on top of it, and forcing the plane down by using the physics model...

The GTA IV physics model is focused more on characters since it's supposed to mimic a city, you can't expect a flying simulator to have the same level of animation as a sandbox game. Although I must say that I've had tons of fun with the GTA IV physics model. Shooting a police officer in the head through the side window, after which he planted his foor firmly on the throttle and sped off into the distance crashing into a brick wall, launching the passenger through the front window, priceless!
