-on floats is lifts off and lands at 35-40 mph, depending on load. (9 seconds)

-spins and stalls in all attitudes and weight conditions have been very gentle with little tendency to drop a wing. I had to force it to spin, and with full control into the spin, it would pull out before one revolution was complete.
