If I recall correctly, 3 slotting Fly and Swift (from Fitness) will cap flight speed. Adding in powers like Lightning Reflexes, Mental Training or Quickness, AFAIK will not make it any faster.
Please correct me numbers people if I am wrong.
Max flight speed =58.63 mph iirc.

They've buffed the base fly speed. You can hit max flight speed with 2 slotted Fly and Swift. (maybe even with Swift)
The plastic tips at the end of shoelaces are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.

my SR scrapper has flight speed > 106mph w/ Fly 2-slotted (30,35 lvl enh) + quickness from the SR pool slotted w/ Fly (30).
not sure what the speed cap is though.

As mentioned the fly cap is 58mph. I have a scrapper with fly and no swift. Since the buff he has a fly speed of 56 mph with two level 33 Blessing of the Zephyr IOs. That's 58% fly speed enhancement, no swift and virtually capped speed.
Fly and swift with one SO each is easily enough to reach the cap.
I know electric armor gets a lot of crap from various people for different reasons but I was piddling around in Mid's builder and noticed electric armor gets Lightning Reflexes. Seemed like a cool power but then I noticed you could slot it for flight and run speed. So would Lightning Reflexes+Swift+Fly all 3 slotted with flight speed increases be the fastest flight could ever possibly go? Has anyone tried it out to see how fast it actually is?
I've always liked flight but it's slower speed always saddened me. Though there are still times when I have super speed and wish I had flight or got annoyed jumping and bumping my head into the under side of a ledge. I think I just hate wasting a power choice on hover or air superiority (though the latter is ok and it's another attack for a brute). Anyway I'm getting off topic, if anybody's tried to max flight speed let me know how fast you got it to go.
