Bill,

Certainly I have stalled my Lancair.  With the ball centered, it breaks straight ahead.  When the nose goes thru the horizon, it has stalled and I recover.  As it approaches the stall, it gets mushy, there is little burble/buffet warning, but you can definitely tell it is coming because of the mushiness prior.

I needed to stall it so that I could set my AOA and ‘Bitchin Betty’ so I would get a stall warning which I think is needed but not required on experimental planes

There is no cause for me to talk to Jeff.  He thinks one thing, I think another.  He is welcome to his opinion and I plan to stick to mine.  I pray we all fly safe.  I see a lot of guys rolling their planes.  I have no intension of rolling mine.  In fact, I think they are nuts, but they are welcome to be nuts if they like.  Even more nuts are the guys that fly their planes into ice, which, I think, is where most of the Lancair deaths come from, not from stall training.  If you get a Lancair iced up, it doesn’t matter what you know about stalls or recovery because you are on a one way elevator.

My opinion is you should switch this discussion to ice and away from stalls.  There have been deaths due to stalls, the unfortunate guy at Oshkosh who got too slow on approach a couple of years ago comes to mind, but I think many more due to flight into icing..

Everybody fly safe. I am done with the subject.

Bill
