I'd like to have starting points for Vs(vans gives Vso), Vx, Vy, Va and Vmmo. Second question, for those that got a higher gross wt than Van's recommended 2700, did you come up with a justification for your DAR? Something like whether Van's figure is for utility category or normal category? I know on 2 place RV's folks have calculated back from the known requirements for aerobatic flight to show that for the stated aerobatic wt and balance Gs that a certain wt would fall withing normal or utility G limits. Of cpurse that doesn't work for the -10 that isn't designed for aerobatic use. Not saying one needs justification, but would be nice to have.

I'm sure there's debate about what constitutes "best glide" and other parameters. I can't speak to GW increases. --Dave On Sun, Jan 24, 2016 at 5:55 PM, Kelly McMullen wrote: > > Couple questions > Has anyone reached a concensus on V speeds, or is there much variation > between individual aircraft?
