Shy, I would guess that your aircraft is a modern, high disc loading machine so the downwash velocity is higher than an R22 or Schweizer and therefore the RoD would have to be much higher to encounter VRS on yours than theirs. However, I think the 2-300 fpmin is far too conservative and belongs in the days of ultra low disc loading like sycamores and similar.
