The plane flies until 69 KIAS but won't break into a stall. It is a "rocking horse" ride down. From what I read others extropolate the numbers to 2700 lbs and did tests with less weight but did anyone fly with 2700 lbs to a stall break with reflex flaps (clean)?

Our RV-10 cg range is 8.4-16.8" aft of wing leading edge. During our full gross xc flights, our cg at takeoff is 15.93". With a 4.5 hr trip and 10 gal remaining our cg is at 16.73". We don't recommend trying to squeeze anymore in the baggage area unless you are into exciting landings. Van's aft cg limit is right on the money.
To your question...64 kts flaps reflex as noted above. We have elevator stops at max range per plans which helps. We have to move stick aft a little quicker to get it to break, but it will. Boy, we really love this plane!
