At what airspeed should the T-6 perform a clean stall recovery?

The correct airspeed for performing a clean stall recovery in the T-6 is 120 knots. This speed is optimal because it allows the aircraft to effectively maintain control while recovering from a stall condition. At this speed, the T-6 has enough airflow over the control surfaces to achieve the necessary effectiveness in executing recovery maneuvers.

Flying at 120 knots during a clean stall recovery enables the pilot to promptly break the stall and re-establish positive control of the aircraft with a more favorable margin above the stall speed. Maintaining this airspeed helps prevent potential control issues that could arise if the speed is either too low or excessively high, thus ensuring a safe and efficient recovery process.

Other speeds listed, such as 100 knots, 140 knots, or 160 knots, do not provide the same level of control effectiveness during recovery from a clean stall, either placing the aircraft at risk of stalling again or complicating the recovery due to excessive speed.
