I have the Horton Stol kit in my 69´ 337D ( without the horton droop wingtips ), and is amazing how low can you fly without an abrupt stall; actually I think your limitation is the very high angle of pitch and elevator travel.
I use a 1200' feet strip quite often, at sea level, even with five adults plus some beach stuff ( Since the installation of a cargo pack ) , with better performance than many singles that operates the same place.
I have some performance numbers I added to my checklist, that were taken from a performance table from Horton some time a go, which came in a "Skymaster Newsletter" , and it claim a gross weight increment of 100 lbs, and some very low numbers for approach and stall speeds.
I tried to attach a photo file without success!
