Does this mean that if you push the stick forward, you are unable to
stop the rotation (in other words - the pilot in a Pirat has no pitch
control during the winch launch)?


In my experience, yes, but only during the initial rotation, and it
only happens at a reasonable speed. In the climb it's fine. And a very
gentle initial acceleration avoids the earlier problems, mostly.
