Knot curiosity

Postby Mike45 » Tue May 14, 2013 12:04 am

I'm new to Kitplanes/Homebuilts/LSA etc., but not new to flying (since'94) and I'm wondering why the standard unit of Airspeed measurement seems to be MPH instead of knots in most of the different performance specs I've seen on these types (not just Sonex)?
