Hi Bud,

Many thanks for your (as always) comprehensive post. Very much appreciated. 
 Your bolded statement implies that the Europa would be fine to be flown to V
NE IAS at 15-18k (altitudes used by some Europa fliers) without risk of flut
ter due to the relatively stiff construction (if I have not mis-read).  I'm q
uite hesitant to ever give that a try, but was searching for the comfortable
 TAS limits instead... which Ivan has appeared to answer with his proven tes
t numbers.

Now im wondering if any Europa fliers have become test pilots and flown at V
NE IAS higher than Ivan's 8000' during his Vd testing?

Just recently, another composite light sport didnt fare as well:

Cheers and blue skies,
