The rule plainly states that it is not to exceed 120 knots at wide open throttle. I'd certainly like for a citation on that one. While neither a pilot or a builder, I follow the Sonex site; their plane with the Jab 3300, at WOT, greatly exceeds limits. As they understand it, the rule is "Maximum speed in level flight with maximum continuous power (Vh) of not more than 120 kts (138 mph) CAS under standard atmospheric conditions at sea level." The word "continuous" is in there ... the 3300 Jabiru is specified at 2750 RPM max continuous which keeps things legal. Many of the owners report significantly higher capability ... and maximum RPM is specified, IIRC, at 3300.
