If you want bragging rights, take a screenshot of 200 knots indicated in level flight.  |
Yeah. Steep Stuka-like dive to 210 kts, level off, snap pic...quickly.

No, pilot's responsibility to not over-g and have catastrophic structural failure!

I?ve wanted to join the 200mph RV Club and came pretty close today. Flew with a friend in his RV-12 today? 88 KTS IAS, 111 KTS TAS, and 160 KTS GS (184MPH) - 49 KTS tail wind at 14,000 MSL and 16F OAT.
Smoking fast for an RV-12?

5 Gal/hr for Rotax 912. The Dynon HDX shows "O.0" because the fuel flow transducer has intermittent electrical wiring connection to be fixed in the spring when weather warms up.
This photo taken at 13,000' going up to 14,000' MSL...

I agree with Dan on this one, but I think the line was "Stinking Badges". I think that the 124 Kts. at 5.4 GPH. is a much better club to be a part of though. It gets us 700Nm. and still has plenty of fuel left in the tank, where-as burning 17.5-18 GPH does not last near as far with only 41 gallons useable on board. Must be a glitch in our system somewhere. Yours, R.E.A. III # 80888

200 knot club
Getting pushed by a Northwest 35 Knot tailwind on spring day
My passenger looked at the ground speed on my Garmin 296 and said 207 kts
“That’s great isn’t it”. I said yeah it is. 160 hp RV 6. Wood prop 155 kts indicated 2600 rpm
His return comment was “ Mine does that all the time”

I’ve been in the wrong face of those triple digit winter winds doing less than 300 knots ... in a Boeing, for hours on end, and even though those winds are in reality buying you (really nice) dinner, it feels like a Taylorcraft.
Pilots are pilots no matter the horsepower.
