Default Knots vs. MPH

Well, that's the way it is. When I learned to fly back in the sixites the
Cessna 150 hat a Speed Gauge in MPH, the first Glider "Rhoenlerche" had it
in km/h! The latter not being soooo ugly, as all gliding competitions are
referenced to km's. As far as I remember also all older british planes had
Speed Gauges in MPH. Flying in the eastern countries you will notice that
all distances are still in m and km, heights and levels also. But don't
worry as his mixup will exist for the next decade still. But we pilot's are
clever guys, aren't we? So we will cope with that easily......;-)
