The A models that I flew had a cruise speed of 70kts and a VNE of 75kts. This was attributed to a number of bubbles letting go...always flew with a helmet! Does she have oil filled drag dampers or elastomeric (spelling..sorry)? The oil filled models are fantastic for sharpening up your ground resonance recognition and recoverys. Engine RPM will want to be kept right at the top of the green especially when taxying downwind....bloody paddle pop sticks would have more authority. Make sure that the aft cluster has had any AD's carried out...very expensive I believe. The list does go on a bit sorry. FBD
