As I recall, the manouevring speed limit on a plank allowed for full-scale deflection of the ailerons (one each way) causing twisting forces on the wing. Above Vmo, only gentle aileron inputs are permitted.

Uptycopters don't have ailerons, the blades are continually on full opposite pitch at high speed, so it probably doesn't matter a rat's patootie.
