GONE WEST
Nikiski Alaska
We got off the topic on "Un drooping droop tips" thread and got into stall speeds. Jerry Burr, Kase, and I did some stall tests and posted them. The test was to fly with the GPS north, south, west and east and average north / south and east / west to come up with a real stall speed.
Jerry in his modified J-3 averaged around 31 mph stall speed, Kase was around 43.5 mph and I was at 39.0 mph. It would be interesting to see what the rest of you come in at.
The test was run at 2000 rpm, no climb, full flaps. Two stalls in each direction. Just fly it down until it stalls and record the GPS ground speed, average them and report back the type of airplane, mods, etc that might have effected the outcome. Crash
