Yah. That "more than" removed a lot of planes from the high
performance category.


I always thought it interesting that my current Stinson Reliant, that
cruises at 100 knots on 300HP, is officially a "high performance" while my
old straight 35 Bonanza with its E185 185 horsepower engine and controllable
pitch prop that cruised at 160 knots was NOT "high performance."

I was told the high performance regs had more to do with left turning
tendencies, dangerous on the runway during takeoff for example, than
they did with cruising speeds.
