Good luck - but I am rather puzzled how you managed to assess the stall speed as 50.7 mph !! What sort of ASI do you have ? I have yet to come across one much more accurate than +- 5% especially at low speed. When you have the pitot pointing at something like 17 degrees angle to the airflow you probably have an actual speed of close to 60mph. Pete
