Geoff N all
Thanks for the replies which confirm as is obvious that too much speed is
naturally a problem for our slippy ships.
I need to do some more stalls and record the speeds but as mine is heavy due
to the Subaru and more so as it has a forward C og G I don't like to go
below 70 on final approach. One of those things I need to convince myself im
OK to do some time.
One thing I have noticed when on climb out is that if I allow the speed to
drop below 70 with 15 deg of flap then I do notice some pre airframe buffet
just very slightly though.
No doubt I will learn as I gain the experience.
I would be interested to know how much the 914 weighs in comparison to the
912S?
Regards
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
as regards airspeed I always approach at 70 Kts on base leg and reduce to 60
Kts on final (as per Europa flight manual) unless a strong headwind (then 70
Kts). My aircraft also has a fairly forward C.G but I've never had any
problems at these speeds and operate out of a 480 metre farm strip.
