I think the AoA was closer to 30deg, (-40 FPA, -10 Pitch), but I held the stick fully back until the stall warning and kept it back. The sim pitched down to about -2 or 3 degrees, even with power on and the THS moving towards -13.6deg. The stick was then placed fully-forward and held until it was clear the wing was flying again.

In this image, the stall warning was constantly sounding. The image of one of the recoveries may help envision the attitude, rate of descent and recovering speed even while still fully stalled:





I posted a schematic a while back and it may help as a refresher:
