 I won't mention names here but a recent posting caused me great concern.

 Regarding pushing your 320 to the limit -- I'm certain that exceeding 300
mph
is a thrill, but it is also pushing it *beyond* the limit.  Vne for the 320
is
270 mph.  That limit is chosen for a reason.  Might be flutter, might be
overloading by a gust, might be something else entirely.  We know where the
limit comes from for certified airplanes but not for experimentals.

 It does not matter how well the systems are maintained.  Vne is Vne and
should never be exceeded.

 If you're going to continue doing this, please do it without me or any of
my
friends on board, and please don't do it over my house.  Oh, and please be
uninsured so that I don't have to pick up part of the tab if your airplane
comes apart.
