"Jawbreaker" Lost at Sun N Fun

Gee, now I kind of wonder _why_ it stalled on takeoff.

Obviously not a lack of power.

Anybody want to take a wild guess at the wing loading?



There's no wonder in that, it got too slow. And as heavy as that plane
is, the stall speed is higher. It weighs in 500lbs heavier than a
stock Glasair 3. That would definitely raise the stall speed. A stock
Glasair 3 should wiegh in the neighborhood of 1,600lbs empty. The
articals I read about Jawbreaker listed it's empty weight at 2100lbs.
