John:
Have you see Kevin Ladden at Stanley? He has a KR2 with the big VW
engine and fixed tail dragger. Just though you might like to go talk with
him some. I have a trike Subaru at Havelock. Anyway about your question,
go to DOT and get them to give you the calculation for stall speed that they
use to confirm the published or reported stall numbers. It is an equation
that will give you a stall speed as low as you want dependant on square foot
wing area and weight of the aircraft when flying.
If you make it really light and add good wingtips, it is possible to see
a "in landing configuration" stall of less then 45mph that is called for. I
have had this discussion but still prefer to register as an amateur built,
since ultralight has passenger and other restrictions that may restrict my
plans. Anyway why don't you get some of the people together at Greenwood to
come over Saturday to the Havelock annual fly-in? Free overnight camping
and the best aviation event in the Maritimes, food, country music, airplanes
and great folks you can't beat it.
Hope to see yah,
Jim Sellars
