Nope, I claim that calculating the speeds and power required for constant Cl at varying weight is different problem than calculating effect of weight to top speed of the plane at constant power.

Basicly your calculation does not answer to the same question than mine and your calculation does not answer the question in hand while my does.

Can you explain in words as well what happens to an aircraft trimmed for level flight at best range cruise that suddenly increases in weight? Sort of a reverse of the albatross effect.
We have been calculating the steady flying conditions so far while your questions are about unsteady conditions.

Basicly you are using the same tactics here as drgondog; if argument fails, derail the discussion to somewhere else.
