10 knots down the straight and 5 around corners is reasonable these days. The gear won't collapse. For those who can't judge 10 knots, buy a GPS. Walking pace went out when tail skids got replaced with brakes. When brakes fail (about once in your entire lifetime if you are unlucky) the grass is a great stopper.
