Flaps speed

Purchased a Rv7a recently with a Garmin g3x and is setup for Mph. All the planes that I have experienced shows in Knots.
The question I'm asking is what the Rv7a spec is rated as. Is the flap max extended speed 110 at 20 degrees in knots or mph. It makes a difference......

Thanks

Flap speed

I am considering to change to knots, but had to been sure if the vans website was in mph or knots. For a aircraft company, never seen it in mph, always in knots.
Vans spec shows 110 20 degrees 100 45 degrees but shows no mph or knots.

Thanks everyone for the info......

As a new RV-7A owner, you may not be aware that Van's now states that Vne (Redline) is now stated in terms of True Airspeed (and not Indicated Airspeed).

I was unaware of that... is there something in written form that states that, coming from Vans?

Secondly... I question WHY?
