I bet Dale has a very hard time getting his RV-8 to do a power on stall at anything less than extreme angles of attack.
It is down right bizzar. As you start adding the power maintaining stall speed and alt you end up about 70-75 deg before the buffet hits.
But also the higher power aircraft have a harder time producing the thrust to weight at slower speeds (I.E. below best climb) then something like an RV or Extras.
For some reason it just reminded me of the first time my airspeed indicator stuck, was in a hammer head. Not sure if you have done them, but they are a head in & out of cockpit procedure to hit the correct airspeed and maintain the vertical line for the rudder kick.
Im watch the speed drop then it stops about 80, I don't really notice it is stuck but stick was getting soft when all of a sudden I realized what was happening. I still have no desire to tail slide that plane.
