Does anyone know the redline IAS for the Nimbus 4 at 45000 and 55000 feet? Does ballast make a difference?



Thanks



AH


Lets say the temp at 50000 is -40 and the redline on the Nimbus is 140 Kts...My E6b is showing 53 kts for the TAS. If you fly faster... than you would be a test pilot and should wear some protective clothing, in case you have to jump...bail out bottle the works. They call it the cofin corner I think.... dunno but normally AC flying up there are on auto pilot to make sure things are done right?
