You wouldn't believe the number of numbnuts out there who
fly final at 100 mph or more. Right now I can comfortably fly final at
75 MPH although the book speed for my weight is 68 MPH so I have some
more practice to do.


That sounds a bit low although some of the older and lighter V-tails
would be down in that range.

That's the book speed. With my 182 I could fly below the book speed
because I had VG's.



I have a Deb that was built in 59 (Sept 11th no less). Final is 80
MPH minus one MPH for each 100# under gross. That brings book speed
for me alone to between 76 and 78 depending on fuel.

Book also says 1 MPH per 100# below gross. At 2400 book says my stall
is 53 MPH.



I have 1000# useful load. 70 gallons of fuel drops that to 430. Add my
170 and it's down to 250 under gross or 78 MPH. 3 hours of flying @
14 GPH drops that by another 250# for 500# under gross or 75 MPH.

My useful is right at 1300 pounds.



What model did you purchase again?

S35.
