L&S,

C'mon its not that difficult to get 106mph out of a Cub - intrestingly, in military service L4s had a max dive speed of 120mph - that must be approaching 100% max 'Q' - mind you, with a BF109 on you're tail that would be the least of your worries!

My Isaacs Fury has a VNE of 160mph. Being a draggy biplane, it's a case of.. 4000ft ...stick the nose down, wait... and wait... and wait, whilst watching the altimeter unwind at an alarming rate!

Good fun though
