No, even that wouldn't be enough. The CG would be aft of the center of pressure, so there's an unbalanced couple. No amount of elevator input would change that.

it's pretty simple: you lose your engine on a single engine plane, your CG is gone for good, you crash and burn. No exceptions unless your engine sits bang in the middle of the CG and miraculously drops out of the fuselage..

I am thinking that the vids of planes flying with wings and stuff missing are definitely not on full realism settings. I clipped about two feet off the end of my hurrie's wing last night and it flew along just fine until I tried to turn! I managed to wrestle her back under control and she flew just fine so long as I was gentle. That's about exactly what I'd expect. When I lost half a wing (damn stutters!) I spiraled straight into the drink. Again, exactly as I would expect.
