Pete:
I am not aware of any aileron droop speed restrictions on the FF. I cannot find any in the builder's manual.
Given the small amount of droop possible with the design, I feel comfortable not being concerned
about an absolute IAS number...I cannot detect very much trim change in my FF whether they are up or down and have never had a problem dropping the droop at any reasonable pattern speed. So far nothing has bent or come off of mine.
Then too, as practical matter, there are a lot of variables in various airspeed plumbing/static installations, sizes of aileron chord, etc. on individual Flys. IAS accuracy varies from Fly to Fly... Aileron loads can vary based on 15 inch, 9 inch, or whatever you happen to have on yours.
If you really want to see if there is a definitive answer to your question, suggest you call the Kolb folks
or contact Dennis Souder. I believe he pretty much designed the FF and did the test flying on it... If there is a number, betcha Dennis would know.
Worth what ye paid fer it...
