Hi everyone this incident reminds me of my first cross country on returning to the field with 4000' to spare I sped up to 90 knots and hit strong sink causing me to hit my head on the canopy of the Hornet, (and nearly knock myself out- I was groggy for some 30 sec afterwards)after which I decided in the future I would do an aerobatics check if I inteneded to fly faster than 80kts, this story convinces me even more!
Perhaps it should be practice to do an aero check if intending to fly at or near max manouvering/rough air speed?
