First let me say I’m not endorsing anyone exceed the manufacturers Vne speed. I’m just putting out this question as a thought experiment, after all we are building experimental aircraft. Why not have experimental thoughts to.
What if the RV-12iS was designed for a higher max speed then published (say 150 Knots) then it is current certified max speed of 120 knots. So with that in mind is this max speed being restricted by the FAA LSA rule or is it a hard design max speed?
The reason I ask this is due to the FAA possibility rumors of increasing there max LSA speed to 150 knots and max weight to 3200.
Anyone who built a EAB RV12 flown over 120 knots?
okay now that’s enough experimental thought. Everyone back to reality.
