I notice the Hornet has it reversed: Rough air = 75 knots; maneuvering =
81. It's hard to believe the Hornet might be in trouble at 76 knots and
the Cirrus could blast on past at 119 knots!

A quick scout through the BGA datasheets seems to show
a trend that for modern single seaters the rough air
and manouevring speeds are the same but for some older
singles and current deep spar two seaters the rough
air is higher. I don't know how the speeds are determined.
