Robertson STOL Performance

I can fly as slow as 50 - 60 knots with the STOL, but would suggest that the safer speed for loiter is around 75 to 85 especially if you are doing any banking above 15 or 20 degrees. I have a performance chart I can scan and email if you are still looking for info. The fuel burn to hold it steady in that configuration is a little higher than cruise since you are headed in and out of the back side of the power curve.
