I've always been taught that the effects of a super stall are caused by two factors essentially: T-tail and sweep back of the wings. Of the two, the main cause is the sweepback which produces, at high angle of attack, an even greater pitch up tendency, whose turbulent airflow strikes out the tail of the aeroplane making it uncontrollable.
