All, The stall speed numbers for the Alon A-2 from the manual are: Stall Speed (Power On) 38 MPH (33 KTS) Stall Speed (Power Off) 48 MPH (42 KTS) As far as changing the light sport regs to include more airplanes goes, I think we should all be trying to get them to include every airplane that we possibly can. We need to increase the pilot population if GA is going to survive another 10 years, and there are a whole lot more potential LSA pilots who might buy an old C-150 for $25,000 than there are who might buy a new LSA for $100,000. The current regs are great for a handful of LSA manufacturers and for a few very wealthy LSA pilots. If they included all of the light, low performance,simple, 2 seat airplanes in LSA, we'd have a heck of a lot more people flying the existing fleet, and that would result in more business for everyone in aviation all the way up and down the food chain. Just my opinion. I'm for GA in general. I could care less what the rules do to the value of my Aircoupe. It's not for sale anyhow, so what it's worth makes no difference. Best Regards,
