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!
That does not answer my question, what other data is it you require. As I stated earlier figures in light aircraft AFM's are based on max weight, if you need to find out the stalling speed at lower weights then you have to go and fly the aircraft and stall it.
