I did another stall test yesterday in my 9A. It broke at 53KIAS, same as my previous tests. The book stall speed at gross is 50 mph (43kt) or 44 mph (38kt) at solo weight. I would have been at about the halfway point between solo and gross. That means I'm stalling 12kt higher than the book suggests - that seems like a lot. Should I be concerned? Is there anything I can do?
My best approach speed and best glide speed look to be at about 70KIAS and both work well. I touch down at 65 KT without any floating. I don't lift off much below 60. These impact my landing and takeoff distances, but that's not a concern anywhere I'm going to fly.
Anyone else run into this with their -9A?
