Bob: The last one I flew had a 75% power cruise of around 130 mph and would maybe top out around 140 so perhaps with the 150 HP Lyc 120 kts or so max. I dont even think the Cardinal with the 150/160 HP Lyc could do 135 knts. I know the 150 HP cardinal could not because I have time in one and that was one with the Laminar flow wing.
