I've not flown the AX2000, but here's my twenty pence worth...

If the stick is back on the stops, you are probably in or very close to the stall, regardless of your airspeed.

Sometimes a little extra speed down late finals will help with elevator authority in the flare. For example 65kts in the Jabiru flare was great, anything below 60kts was asking for the Earth to swallow you up....

As per this link....

For an engine failure it suggests:
To increase elevator control in the final flare, where practical increase
the speed to 55 - 60 mph just before the round out


For landing:
To start the descent, reduce the throttle
setting and establish an airspeed of 55 mph. In windy conditions increase this approach speed to 60 mph. Set the
trim accordingly


I also believe in safely trimming as late into finals as is permissable...
