Craig,
What you are talking about is a stall - plain an simple. It is nothing
to do with the "Coffin Corner". Please see

Sure my use of the term "coffin corner" may not be correct, but it is
a simmilar situation is it not??
If the approach to coffin corner is caused by a lack of power rather
than a design limitation then it would be, wouldnt it? Say like trying
to fly your Europa with 60hp
at high altitude, you would end up in the same situation, can't go
slower or I'll stall, can't go faster not enough power. Some of the
heavier 912ul powered europa are flat out
at around 120kts arent they, yet the design is good for about 165-175
kts.
