Several people have noted the 61° AoA of the mainplane and the 45° angle of decent, and agreed that the mainplane was therefore fully stalled.

With a nose-up up-trim of 13° the HS had an AoA of about 48° and was therefore also fully stalled, also with an angle of decent of 45°.
and any nose down input increases the HS depth of stall.

Is the C0G so far aft (for efficiency) that it doesn't help with recovery? If so does that leave the engines as only means of recovery?
