AD, just curious. How far above the main wing is the 330 elevator? Is it a similar distance as, for example, a BAc 111?

You simply can't confine deep stalls or super stalls to T-Tail only types. It is entirely possible to get a deep/super stall on a conventional (read not a T-Tail) type. A swept wing is actually more prone to a deep stall than a T-Tail but a T-Tail is harder to recover, hence pushers and all that jazz. Remember swept wing pitch up?!

I haven't read the entire million threads but does anybody know where the CofG was?
