So as a self declared kitfox newby I have gotten myself a little confused.
In a couple of locations most notably on the Kitfox website is a desciption of the series 7 being able to "cruise at over 150mph" when powered by the R914 with the 115hp. My problem is that Vne for my SS is 140mph. I assumed that the SS Vne is because beyond 140 the fabric is at risk of being damaged or turbulance at this speed could cause accelerations beyond the aloud limit.
So, is the 150mph cruise speed an old add ploy that has just stuck or were those planes really able to cruise that fast? Also was the series 7 that much different from the SS that they had a diferent Vne?
I know most of you know the answer to this one so please set me straight.
