Michel,
I just in from 2.5 hours flying today in total.
I mentioned that i was doing airstarts after gliding the Kitfox and I
thought about you today so I went up and shut off mags and slowed to about
40 ias till the prop stopped. Then came this bright idea *** oh
yeah BRIGHT !!
well why not do some stalls and take off the headset to hear the sounds
you described before and all i heard was the air leaks !! I did about
half dozen stalls -- all power off and mags too !! some steeper than
others and I just get a shudder and a mush for the most part. Now once
you put nose down just after you break the stall I do get a bit of a
THUD from the rear........ I am guessing it the disturbed air on top of
wing washing onto the tail ?
Maybe if I hear air leaks then i have some taping and sealing to do some
time ?
Hope that helps you and it was fun........

Thanks for your answers, guys. I think I feel better knowing it's not a
wing. I did lift my headset to hear better (but with the engine on) and
it is definitively coming from right hand and behind me. I'll need a
passenger to do more hearing observation. Yet a new reason to go out
flying! Wow, cool!

Michel,
It is often hard to find noises in vehicles, even
relatively quiet cars. One thing that may help is if
you hold the unused headset mike up to suspected
sources and listen over the intercom, squelch adjusted
accordingly. You will only hear it over the intercom
when the mike is near the source. Might help you
isolate it if the source is in reach.
If it is on the right behind the seat, the right
passanger might have to twist around a lot, unless
they do the stall while you check behind them from the
left seat.
Just an idea,
kurt S.
