Question S76 Vne

One for Nick...

I understand that the Vne on the 76 is imposed for handling reasons rather than structural/aerodynamic ones. Namely, it has a negative pitch trim gradient. I am curious to know what speeds have been reached in testing, and how the handling qualities change at these speeds.
