Hi Henry

The stall speed with a modification from speed with economy as per
mustang aero should be 55mph.

For me in Montreal to get shipped from the US, I have to pay a 10% (7% GST and
admin fees), an importing fee and transportation to pay$$$.  Also by an
odd coincidence a neighbor works for a living buying cars can put it on
his tow truck and deliver it to your door for you to remove what you need for 150$
CDN.  Maybe one day, if I'm patient (I am), a renesis engine will show up
at my door.

Very nice plane the RV-9 good choice, but $$$ is a deciding factor for me.
