No.
Because once trimmed the airplane was looking quite comfortable in a stalled status.
But before it started to autotrim :
  • It was definitely possible to hold the aircraft in the stall with 3 degrees of nose-up trim and full back stick, but it required effort
  • The aircraft wanted to nose down and recover itself
  • The nose wanted to come down naturally if I released pressure for even a split-second.
