    Default information speed Kit Fox Speedster

    Hello I am writing from Italy
    I converted my KITFOX IV SPEEDSTER and I would ask information

    Can you tell me the speed parameters allowed by the speedster VNE - VNO - VSO (green bow - red bow - yellow bow)

    and structural loading positive (G +)?

    Best regards

    Sauro Salvucci

    Hello saurofox, for airspeed markings please refer to Skystar Service Letter #27a

    [edit] I would add that no VA (maneuvering speed, the speed at which full and abrupt control movement can be applied without causing structural damage) is noted in the Service Letter, however, my KF 4-1200 P.O.H. lists the following:

    VA Maneuvering Speeds:

    Classic 4 (1050 lb Gross Weight) w/ Rotax 503 = 96mph
    Classic 4 (1200 lb Gross Weight) w/ Rotax 912 = 102mph
    Model 4-1200 (1200 lb Gross Weight) w/ Rotax 912 = 102mph
    Speedster (1200 lb Gross Weight) w/ Rotax 912 = 106mph
