Van's states a Vne for most of their models, including the -8 at 200kts or 230 mph true airspeed. I am familiar with an -8 with the IO-390 engine that can get very close to that Vne in level flight. The Vne is set due to the design flutter speed. Vans has a white paper that is mostly aimed at the 10, against turbo-normalizing, which does the calculation that if 75% power can be maintained to 12,000 ft, the aircraft can exceed that Vne at that power setting. Everyone makes their own choices with experimental amateur built. I choose to pay attention to that Vne with my -10. http://vansaircraft.com/pdf/hp_limts.pdf On 6/27/2018 9:31 PM, speedy11@aol.com wrote: > Are you currently building or is your airplane finished?
