What other data do you want for a light aircraft, the calculated stall speed is given for most light aircraft at max weight, in unaccelerated flight 1g, in a given configuration, clean and with flaps extended, those are the bench marks.
....And then the driver, flying it solo with not much fuel in the tanks, adds 15% for the wife and kids. Could explain all those busted nose wheels!
