Just  to repeat some of the emails John and I exchanged privately this  morning...

  

 I've  been using 65 MPH since my first flight and now with 40 hours  I have not had a problem with that speed.  Abeam the numbers, back  comes the power, in goes all the flaps, and with luck, I never have to touch the  throttle again.  This assumes John and my AS are calibrated the same.   YMMV.  Be careful, if you are trying these lower speeds on your  own.

  

 You  can use 60 MPH but that is a bit slow, even by my standards and the sink rate  gets up there.  However, in my light (990 lbs) -9 I still have enough  energy to flair.  Note, if I was going to try 60 MPH with a -9A, you might  want to be ready with the throttle to help lift the nose a little.  With my  tail dragger, that isn't a concern.

  

 Bill
