REFLECTOR: N36LV Flies!!!

[Scott Derrick]

Velocity(Scott B.) has clearly stated the factory Vne is "tested" Vne, 
not engineered.  Looking at it another way would be to say thats as far 
as they  are willing to hang it out there in liability land.

I've tested mine to 215 knots indicated at 10,000 ft. Its a Std RG.

This argument causes a fairly good split of opinions amongst fast fliers but aeronautical engineers and aerodynamacists tend to agree with the true airspeed side. The commonly held belief around Velocity, Inc, is that a good, well-balanced XL should be good for 275 - 285 kts true.
