Question about crossing controls in your aircraft

I'll try to keep this short and sweet, I'd appreciate short and sweet answers too, and any additional relevant information if you have it.
I would appreciate it a lot if you could include the type of aircraft you're talking about. Sim experiences also welcome.

I'd like to know if putting in full rudder and opposite aileron in your aircraft is enough to provide reasonable pitch control in the case that you've lost control of your elevator or trim.

Can the nose be kept above the horizon in this condition using the rudder? If so, is there enough aileron to prevent the nose from coming up too high without having to start banking in the opposite direction, or do you let up on the rudder? Any important speeds to know about to do this? How does having the boards full out on one wing affect the pitch and speed on your aircraft?

This is just a personal curiosity of mine.

Thanks.
