“Probably 110 knots or thereabouts.”
That is very quick for a SC on a bumpy day. If you had slowed down to around 85kn you would probably have been OK. The problem is directly related to the unusually low wing loading of the CS, even compared with other Rotax machines. A P300 will have a similar problem, but it will be slowing from 135kn to 120kn which is less of a problem if you have a headwind.

Andonip,
the eyesight gets worse as you get older (am 44) - hence the bino's through hangar windows etc
Unfortunately it is one of those hobbies where the demographic is towards the higher end and the lack of facilites at major UK airports (Manchester excluded) does nothing to encourage youngsters to take an interest.
