 Lee,
 Interesting data.
    Take a look at www.oneillairplane.com info on unintentional stalls i
 compiled after (laboriously) reading some 800 fatal accident reports.  Let
 me know what you think.
 
 (I'm not selling the AOAs now.  But the stall info I think is applicable.)
 Tell me what the groups and percentages represent in your spreadsheet.
 
 I would suggest that with a plane like the LNC2 with very light elevator, it
 is easy to accidentally pull the wing to a stall AOA.  Per the CAFE report
 on L320 N9BF, clean,  the STALL at 1G is at about 1775 lbs is at 71 knots,
 2Gs at  98 knots, 3Gs at 121 knots.
 Without an AOA the pilot cannot SEE how close he is flying his wing to its
 AOA.
 T.
