i also like to have fun, but i dont understand this debate.

since the majority of us giving opinions are pilots on here then let me put this to you...

do you fly at speeds above Vne?

i would bet all of my salary that most dont, even though the plane is built with a factor of safety of perhaps 1.5 and therefore could quite happily trundle around at speeds above that stated in the manual as the max speed.

why do we respect that speed, because in the section called LIMITATIONS it says that is the max speed, it also says in that section, LIMITATIONS, not approved for aerobatics.

why respect any of the limitations if you are going to break one of them?
