Europa-List: USA sport pilot is out..... anyone out there have a stall

The new sport pilot rule has finally been issued by the FAA.
http://www.faa.gov/avr/arm/rulemaking/SportPilotRule7_19.doc


It has lightly higher gross weight than the advanced ultralight rule
here in Canada.

600kg max gross
1 or two occupants
single engine
max stall speed (no flaps) of 45 knots CAS
max level airspeed 120 knots
fixed gear
fixed pitch prop

I was wondering if any out there already flying has managed to get a
clean stall speed at 600kg gross under the required 45 knots CAS?

Inquiring minds would like to know :-)

Cheers & blue skies,

Thanks Dan.  I ordered two more direct from UK so they should be here in
just a week or so when I'll forward one on to you.  It's getting
exciting!

Only problem is I just sent you (went out yesterday to Rob) my part, so
it'll have to wait until you're through with it or if someone has a
spare
they can send to me so I can see if it can be copied.
