Thumbs down Horton Stol Performance

Cfc1234.
The answer is "NO". As another poster stated the Horton has the pilot determine speeds with experimentation. I talked to one of the original engineers at Horton and he gave me that information as well. Nice old guy that talked about how the owner of the STC was tight with the local FSDO and that's why they didn't have to do the flight tests that Robertson had to do? As for one of the posters said it's almost impossible to stall the skymaster. It's true, during my rating check ride I had to fly my bird at around 65 mph with no stall warning horn, no problems. As many Skymaster owner can contest that the tail stalls/shudders in stead of the wing as with most other Cessnas. Hope this helps.
Regards, BILLS
