Hi Tim,

 

“There seems to be quite a large number of stall related accidents, which leads = me to believe that the airfoil is basically unsafe. Anyway, I am not going to = fly this thing as is, although I have had my license for more than 20 years = and have accumulated more than 200 = hrs.”

 

 

Accidents from stall related conditions can’t be = referred to the aircraft – rather how it is flown after coming to the understanding of its aerodynamic characteristics through flight testing = once you get it in the air. Then apply the required margins for any flight = condition you require.

These things are not Cessnas, Pipers or other relatively = docile factory builts.

Fly on  or above the margins – you have God on = your side – inside those margins –watch out for the devil = mate.

 

Ciao
