Brief Description:  Flight 28 - stalls / slow

0.7 flight time. On climb out, rpm is getting a little higher as the engine runs in. Climbs at about 3000 rpm 110-120 mph. Was seeing 1200 fpm at 110 mph. Did power off, no flap stalls (2). There's plenty of buffet as it slows down, and the stall airspeed was just below the bottom of the green arc. Didn't do comparison with the GPS for ground speed. Then did some higher speed cruise, 150 mph-160 mph at 2900-3050 rpm. Wasn't staying at a steady speed, just trying to get the feel for trim to maintain altitude. It was climbing a bit, so I think there's really more speed at those rpm's. Then slowed down and did slow flight 1900-2100 rpm at 70-80 mph with flaps 20. Did 180 deg turns in both directions. It's a bit left wing heavy slow with the flaps out. Need to figure out what flap adjustment will correct that (but not effect flaps up, which is not wing heavy). The blimp for the golf tournament was there when I departed, and I heard it leave while I was out.
