Stall speed question
« on: Monday June 08, 2009, 04:20:51 UTC »
All,
I have never been able to get anywhere close to the book stall speed in my Chip.  Book sat 38kts landing configuration, power off - about 44mph, mine stalls at 55mph - about 48kts.

I'm interested in what you see as actual stall speed in your aircraft.

Thanks!

Does the aeroplane still have the original Mk9 pressure head? (pitot tube)

It does have the correct pitot head, but I am sure the ASI has not been checked for some time - it has been replaced by a previous owner.  Next time I'm up with a passenger I'll see if the readings match - hadn't thought of indicator error.  Should have...

Page 36 of the Flight Manual DH2.2 shows the precise measurements and  position of the pitot head relative to the wing ....if you need a copy please let me know.
