Calculate the power-off stalling speed based on the aircraft

[Wehner]

First off, thank you for this wonderful beauty. Cannot take my eyes from her. She's such a joy to fly. Excellent.

Back to business:
The manual states:"Calculate the power-off stalling speed based on the aircraft weight." in the landing section. How would I do this (or did I miss something ?).

Another question of mine is: Am I able to drop my payload in FSX or would I have to land with the take off weight?

Any help appreciated.

Regards,
Michael.

really noone ?

If you refer to page 29 of 33 of the .PDF manual, (Flight Characteristics section, not Landing section as we expected). There is a "Power Off Stalling Speeds-Wheels Up chart" indicating airspeed at various weights with none, half and full flap flight. It covers both B-17F and G models.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
John.

Thank you a lot John!
My manual has 33 pages, and on the last one is no such chart. It is the manual that came with the download of the WOP B17 II. To what manual do you refer?

Hello Michael.
I refer to page 29 of the 33 page .PDF manual as downloaded with the B-17 package. The part which is a facsimile of the original B-17 manual. It's only a small reference, but it's there in mine at least.
Best wishes.

Thank you a lot!
