The stresses that accompany high speed dives/passes have killed probably more
KR pilots than has anything else. They give up one's margin, sometimes with a
passenger (showing off).
Am I reading this right John . . . you lost your horizontal stabs and survived?

I for one would be very interested to learn how the FAA requires a certified
aircraft's Vne be determined and also how aircraft designers work out that
number and then flight test to it. The designer and builder of the prototype

mph little bi-plane of some type. Just as Ralph Nader declared the
