You guys all keep talking about landing your coupe at such slow speeds - I have
a metal wing G-model and I have trouble getting it to land under 75mph. I sure
am jealous of all of you that can land slow. If I were to try that I would
break my landing gear off. It starts to fall out of the sky about 72mph.. And
I do mean fall fast. Jerry in the Great Northwest.

Maybe this is more readable:
As I said a couple of days ago, this gave these results:
13˚ up travel 48-52 mph landing speed
415-C and 415-CD
9˚ up travel 55-60 mph landing speed
415-D and on earlier models
with 9˚ elevator limitation due
to using the 1320 pound STC
20˚ up travel 48-52 mph landing speed
415-E and all later models AND
earlier models with split elevator
installed via STC or field approval
on a form 337
