Default Tiger moth loses power on t/o, augers into a tree, none hurt.

Anyone know -- what speed does a T/M stall at? My guess is pretty slow,
say 30 kts.

This is exactly how I envision a crash into trees "ought to" happen, if
its gotta happen, in a slow-stalling speed craft, say a single Cessna.
Just a little luck, a little help from the wind, full flaps if you got
em, and controlled flight as slow as possible into the treetops...
