[QUOTE=cartercg;
The Peridot has never really liked to fly slow, but it's speed envelope with the contra is significantly wider. It is now able to fly slower while retaining control. Downwind rolls can be done with lower airspeed. Even at fairly low throttle settings there is sufficent flow over the tail to keep rolls axial and give good control.

Thanks for sharing this detailed report. I have often wondered how a plane can still fly smoothly at a slower speed? The wing loading hasn't changed. Does the cleaner airflow make the aircraft more efficient?
