Vne ???

[cozybuildertobe]

I'm trying to decide what aircraft to build? Most kit planes list a Vne, but in all my reading on the plane I'm most interested in, I can't find a Vne. Does the Cozy MK IV have a rating or ever been rated? I imagine being a plans built it would depend largely on quality of build etc, but is there a guideline that would help me make a decision?

Vne for the COZY MKIV is 220 mph IAS, per the Owners Manual and published information (stated as "Max. Speed", usually).

Vne is not dependent upon builder - it's 220 mph, period, unless the builder wants to test at higher speeds (and is then completely on his own).

Note that the VNE is IAS, so it changes with height. At 12k ft it can represent a considerably higher ground speed.

It looks like it could go 400-500 MPH easy.
