It had a VNE of 125 Mp h as compared to the Speedster which was 140. The airplanes are the same e xcept for clipped wings=2C and some speed mods. They determined that above 125 the wind screen deformed and they used 1/8 inch. It prov ed to be a p roblem as some of them broke. I replaced my wind screen a few years ago=2C Tap plastic gave me 3 MM by mistake and I installed it. Seems a lot stiff er then my original and I was right. I would put the 3 MM back on if I wer e to replace it. Used heat gun to take out any stress=2C worked great. If I were to take a bird strike=2C I would prefer the bullet proof Lexan.
