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


About 38 Knots.

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...


ouch. Poor thing. Looks like it will live to fight another day, though.

They don't have much in the way of carb heat. Icing is very common problem
with a Gypsy.
