 L-39C Stall Speed Chart/Graph
For anyone interested, I created a MS Excel spreadsheet with associated graph that depicts level flight stall speeds for various configurations and load factors for the L-39C. I used the stall speed graph found in the Czech Jet dash one (page 6-5) for baseline data, but I haven't verified those numbers with any other source. CLICK HERE to see the spreadsheet — or send me an email (dwk747@comcast.net) and I'll send it to you.
