REFLECTOR: V-SPEEDS

The manual came with my kit.  

Then I revised it to reflect my plane.  I never could verify Vx and Vy.  Apparently I had too much thermal activity working even though I ran my tests in the morning.  The other speeds are pretty much the same as my plane.

  Thanks Ronnie!  Were these derived from your flying experience?  Or do you have a flight manual from somewhere?

    I have to calibrate my airspeed indicator (on an EFIS system) ... is there an official flight manual for the Velocity with such speeds for various models?  I realize each plane will be slightly different ... but I simply want a starting point.  Where can I find those numbers?
