Thanks for the input MJD. I think your right on the stall speed based on modeling this plane in RealFlight. I have been landing at around 30 mph to keep the plane level when touching down. I have tried adding more weight on the sim to get the feel for a heavier plane, but I don't think stalling on the sim is not as accurate as the real thing.
Thanks again.
