If I had used a different oscilloscope as dead weight would that have affected my test results? ;)

That is not what I found in real tests documented here: https://tinyurl.com/takeoff-engine-out-stall

Ugh. You are correct about the context. I messed up when I stated the airplane was 5 over stall. I should have said something like climbing at Vx. In a C-152 the slowest wings level stall speed is in the most forward CG at 40 KIAS at flaps of 0 to 10 degree flaps but 35 KIAS at 30 degree flaps...

Thanks everyone! Here is what I found: I tabulated the results of 6 configurations of climb speeds and flap settings and have a link to a 2 minute video of the gauges of the airplane panel at the following web page (my various follow-up comments there are simply too long to re-post here)...

I really appreciate the responses! Doesn't look like anyone so far has professed personal knowledge of actually performing the experiment or knows anyone who has actually done it. Yes, some have done demos at low altitude, but not to the point of actually letting the airplane do its thing...

They both performed the engine out very low so they were forced to implement their recommended action immediately. Although the second video shows an engine out a second time at a higher altitude he appears to be concentrating on discussing another issue. Have you experimented with engine out...

Are you sure? According to the first video you have to push forward on the yoke and in the second the stall horn allegedly sounds - and you have to push forward on the yoke:

Can you suggest an example airplane model and configuration that would stall?

Yes. Although I will admit that the C-152 was barely climbing in the full flaps at 50 knots. The other configurations and speed it was climbing when the throttle was cut.

Will an airplane engine failure during a takeoff climb cause an aerodynamic stall? In this scenario the pilot's hands are off the stick or yoke - or at least only lightly applying aileron control, no elevator. The airplane is trimmed to climb about 5 mph or knots above stall. I ran a series of...

OK, thanks. I had to check the RoC to even make sure it was OK to ask about a thread lock (fortunately volumes 1 through 57 of the RoC are completely silent on the subject of thread locks. Maybe they are mentioned in volumes 58 through 97?)

What happened here? Did not seem to violate the rules. https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/the-current-estimated-wait-time-is.114686/

Attached to this post is the last snapshot of the Zeemap database entries that I intend to make. I am allowing the paid subscription to zeemaps to terminate. It may last as long another 30 days - I'm not sure because zeemaps billing cycle is unclear.

Today I upgraded to Zeemaps Enterprise. Once I did that the latitude and longitude columns appeared in the CSV file in place of the location code column. However, it looks like that substitution only appears in the CSV file downloaded by the account owner, not anyone else. So I've uploaded a...

Belated thanks - I've been traveling and occupied by a family emergency and did not see your response. I'll pay the money for the download if you are willing to try to do something with the data. I've been hesitant, though, because PoA has become the forum that it was intended to replace or...

No one appears to have stepped forward in the last 3 weeks to locate an alternative to zeemap. I am willing to upgrade to zeemap's Enterprise plan for the month of October to allow anyone here to download the database with plain-text lat/long coordinates. That would preserve the data till an...

Vastly simpler for me to just invest the $80 so the location code column downloads in a lat/long format than for people to dink around trying to reverse-engineer Zeemap's changes to the Google location code. Easy to spend many hours on such a thing and accomplish nothing. One other option is to...

Since Zeemaps uses Google maps, my search yielded this on the Google location code: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44843934/get-lat-lon-from-google-maps-url-ftid-hex So I appended the location code for my Zeemap entry (557b53bcd367742eb9ff09882720557f) to the URL...

The zeemap account is still tied to my account even though I gave you admin privileges. I just now subscribed to their "Professional" service offering so the map is again available. I have no problem footing the $19.95/month charge for now (discount if purchasing a year service at $199.95/year.)...

The U.S. distributer for the Savannah S advertises a complete kit with basic instruments and Rotax 912 engine for under $50k with a claimed build time of 350 hours (kit #3 under kit packages.) Link: http://fly-buylsa.com/Savannah.html The guy in the video below seems to say the builder had...
