I won't mention
names here but a recent posting caused me great concern. Regarding pushing your 320 to the limit -- I'm certain that exceeding 300
mph is a thrill, but it is also pushing it *beyond* the limit. Vne for the 320 is 270 mph. That limit is chosen for a
reason. Might be flutter, might be overloading by a gust, might be something else entirely. We know where the limit
comes from for certified airplanes but not for experimentals. It does not matter how well the systems are
maintained. Vne is Vne and should never be exceeded. If you're going to continue doing this, please do it without me
or any of my friends on board, and please don't do it over my house. Oh, and please be uninsured so that I don't have to pick up
part of the tab if your airplane comes apart. - Robert Wolf LNC2 95% p.s. Yes, I know
that this message may be considered insulting.
