RE: Water take off speed
A stock LT-40...high wing trainer, trike gear....will come off the ground at around 30 MPH and stall at about 28 MPH....full power level flight at around 70 MPH....I don't remember where I read that but it has stuck with me over the years.......I sold a modified LT-40 to my son in law's dad, he's a retired cop.......with a radar gun he was clocked at 72 mph in level flight.....kinda validates what I read
