What? Did the tail fall off? I have plenty of elevator at 70 kts, no
power and a forward CG in a 35 Bo.

I fly a 1947 Model 35 as well.

Not the same airplane as an A36, the topic of this thread.

Doesn't matter.

Care to elaborate?

The A36 and Straight 35 are exactly the same, except for the different
wings,

Wings are the same.

different weights,

The 36 weighs 31 pounds more than the same year model 35.

different powerplants,

Same powerplant as mine.

different CGs,
different loading envelopes,

Yes and it is beneficial.

different gear,

Same gear, just heavier duty than the straight 35, exactly the same as mine.

different prop governors,

Irrelevant.

different empennage,

Duh.

and a few thousand other minor differences.



I guess that doesn't matter?

No, it doesn't change the fact that at 70 knots you are not out of
elevator. I land at less than that speed, power off and it flares just
fine.

Please re-read the thread an you will see I am referring to a 1947
Model 35, which is significantly different in every respect I
mentioned.

I have not found that the A36 has enough energy left to flare and
arrest the descent at 70 KIAS.
