Relating stick position to a stall is a fallacy, and a dangerous misunderstanding of basic aerodynamics, and basic airmanship.
Ok, I'm sceptical I admit - I think I understand pretty well, so please, explain - I'm always happy to learn. Taking away pod mounted engines with big power/pitch couples, and also disallowing establishing an unsustainable climb angle then centering the stick, which is, even to the meanest intelligence obviously going to lead to a stall, just how DO you demonstrate a stall with a forward stick position?
As far as I understand it's just basic aerodynamics: (most) aircraft are speed stable - you increase power you climb at the same speed, decrease to descend at that speed. Trim (or more coarsely stick position) sets speed.
