Just to repeat some of the emails John and I exchanged privately this morning...

I've been using 65 MPH since my first flight and now with 40 hours I have not had a problem with that speed. Abeam the numbers, back comes the power, in goes all the flaps, and with luck, I never have to touch the throttle again. This assumes John and my AS are calibrated the same. YMMV. Be careful, if you are trying these lower speeds on your own.

You can use 60 MPH but that is a bit slow, even by my standards and the sink rate gets up there. However, in my light (990 lbs) -9 I still have enough energy to flair. Note, if I was going to try 60 MPH with a -9A, you might want to be ready with the throttle to help lift the nose a little. With my tail dragger, that isn't a concern.

Bill
