I have made the decision prior to purchasing to avoid stalls
altogether in my 360. After reading the stall and stall spin accident
information, I just don't think it's worth the risk. On take-off, I stay
in ground effect for the half second it takes to make it into the green after
wheels up; on landing, I approach well above stall for my flap configuration,
and let the speed bleed off only a few feet above the threshold. During
normal flight, I don't even get near a typical slow flight speed. Too many
variables in a home built airplane with no precise envelope, a header tank
that is PROBABLY where I think it is, but could be off by 30 or 40 pounds if the
gauge is stuck; possible extra wait in the tail area (water retention after
heavy rain).
Colyn, As I said, AVOID STEEP
TURNS IN THE PATTERN. If you are flying low under the hood, I hope you
have a well qualified safety pilot
