Lynn,

 

Way to go!

 

Nothing like being a test pilot in an experimental.... Oh, that's right, we all are test pilots.........................

 

Once you are over .4 Mach, Mach is useful......

 

What is the terminal dive speed?   ....   Wait, don't answer that..............

Steve,

 

I have expanded the flight envelope, via flight test, of my Super Legacy to more than 340 KIAS and the MMO to .6 Mach.

Subject: [LML] TAS for Red Line

 

Having coffee with some high time pilots this morning, the subject of Never Exceed Speed came up.  Before I read the original Van’s article years ago, I thought Indicated Airspeed was the indicator…  WRONG, it is True Airspeed.  Does your EFIS display TAS or do you have a table for reference??
