If any Canadians on here could help me out, it states in the reg's:
  1. "an aeroplane having no more than two seats, designed and manufactured to have a maximum take-off weight of 544 kilograms and a stall speed in the landing configuration (Vso) of 39 knots (45 mph) or less indicated airspeed at the maximum take-off weight. "
What is the simplified definition of 'stall speed', and how do you calculate it? As far as I understand it, it's the speed required to create enough lift for take-off? And how would you be able to adjust it? As well, is there a maximum speed requirement for ultralights? Thanks! I'm completely new to flying, but with some background in motorsports and an understanding of basic physics, it shouldnt be that hard to figure out!
