Default RE: CG and stall speed

Da Rock,

If you really want to see what your plane is stalling at, you can get http://www.eagletreesystems.com/Plane/plane.html
I have an early version, and have used it in a"troubled" plane. I helped me in tuning my Ultra Stick. It is was both stable when you were gentle with it, and snappy when you wanted it to be when I was done with it. (I used past tense because I had dumb-thumbs and augered it in one fine morning)
I do not have the live feed, so I have to take a few runs, hook it up to my laptop, and analyze the data.
With the Eagle Tree Systems Flight data recorder, you don't have to guess what the plane is doing... It's right there. Graphs of flight speed, stick inputs, artificial horizon, altitude, and rate of climb, etc.
