Ahhh I feel like I have achieved something!
:ban:
I finally got my design stall speed under 45 knots!
Now all I have to do is make sure I can get it going that slowly. The engine will only throttle down to about 50%, and that still leaves me with 300 odd pounds of thrust behind me in a 660 pound plane... You never know, once it is dirtied up with the gear out and all :ponder:
Al least I know the plane will go that slow :gig:
One question though, I seem to be getting a take off speed of around 70 knots, is that a tad fast? Once it gets rolling, I am pretty sure the plane will get there quickly enough, I just thought it might have been a little slower.
