Talk about stalls

[facthunter]

Done a few C/ME/IFR renewals in the Duchess( B 76.) Cost me many $$$$'s. If you have less than 1 G, the stall speed is lowered and so is the DRAG and also the control effectiveness.. The extra mass of engines on the wings makes spins much More risky. DON'T go there. Nev

Why is it better to fly faster if you are Heavy? Nev

No definitive answer yet. The cruise performance chart for my muskeeter shows  maximum range is achieved at the highest altitude in the chart, 10500 and the lowest power setting, 50%. 784nm in 8.6 hours. No wieght is stated so presume this is at MTOW. Higher power at lower levels reduces range by 130 nm.

Perhaps `better' needs to be better defined.
