Richard is an unknown quantity at this point
All IAS. Done two dozen stalls. Some 2500, some 5500 and yesterdays 8500. I fly into some higher altitude airports. (Farmington 6600+).

Mods for STOL:
Owen Bells large boom fairings (Really makes the rudders sensitive)
Horton STOL (Makes it look like a big condor from behind)
And Micro VG's (Makes landing and take off a breeze, I'm spoiled be them now)

I've notived that low stall speed makes landings so smooth.... butter..... Mmm mmm mmm. I did do testing of stalls before the VG's, stall went from 57 to 52 dirty. So... those little thingies work.

Neat thing too. (Maybe it's always been this way with stalls). I can hold in full rudder keep the speed at 50-51. Drop fast but still keep it straight and level.
