I think my redline is 235 knots. If the limit is based on flutter, it's probably 235 KTAS. I think N360KB was lucky to come home with a rudder attached. I'm not an engineer, but 250 is tempting fate.

ps...special note for Larry and Greyhawk, N360KB's rudder trim tab
departed in flight at 250kts while we were inverted. :-)

Is that right? On my LNC2, the redline is 278mph. Not sure if this is a joke or not, but it sounds like being inverted at 250 knots isn't a smart idea. Of course the trim tab came off. It's called flutter.
