Jim and John, etal
For single engine aircraft certificated under FAR Part 23,
the VNE ( red line ) has to be established at 90% of demonstrated flutter-free
speed. I would certainly think that it would be in all home-built aircraft
designers' interest to stay close to this 10% minimum margin when establishing
the VNE for their design. You might check with the Cozy
designer.

gravy. Top speed is only for bragging rights anyway -
