500 km Triangle at 306 km/hr in Argentina

Cool.
He probably bumped that limit a few times too, but I suppose that's what
limits and record-setting flights are all about.

To average 306 he certainly exceeded that speed for much of the flight.
I too would like to understand the mods and the risk analysis for this
flight.

Klaus if flying a company-modified Nimbus 4 DM which allows a Vne of
260 km/h IAS at 6.000 meters.

260 kp/h IAS at 6.000m = 350 kp/h TAS.

Bold statement.
Do you have *any* proof at all...?

What's bold about the statement? If he averaged 306, he spent some time
above 306 and some time below 306, right?
Not sure what you're reacting to--I made no accusation. By "bumped the
limit" I mean he went 325, probably for a good bit of the flight. Good on
him. Bad on me if "bumped the limit" is too idiomatic a phrase for an
international forum such as this.

The limit for this particular Nimnus 4 DM is (as mentioned several
times in this thread before) 350 kp/h TAS or 260 kp/h IAS at 6.000
meters.

So he didn't need to bump any limit at all...

Happy new year!

Ok, now after you mentioned it several times, I'd finally like to know:
What the hell is a kp/h?

Kilometers per hour, more commonly refered to as km/h (1 km/h = 0.62
mph = 0.54 knots for those of you who are metrically challenged... :-)

Yes. Not to be pedantic, but if the 'p' form is used, it's 'kph'
(kilometers per hour} and never 'kp/h' (kilometers per per hour).

Ah, km/h! I was wondering all the time what the hell he might be
measuring in kiloponds per hour. I finally guessed it must be the rate
of water dump, but this didn't really make any sense...
