Density Altitude Performance

[bransom]

As a Rebel wannabe, I'd like to hear what can be expected in high density
altitude operations. Assuming an 0-320 and say, 8000'msl, what is the climb
rate and take-off roll (at gross or stated weight)?

What is the max reasonable altitude one could expect to get off a lake with an
0-320 Rebel on straight floats or amphibs (on a standard day)?

Also, just for basics, what is sea level Vx and Vy?

Thanks,

well Ben I've only bothered to go high with my 0-290 powered rebel once and
at 10,000ft. we were still climbing at 400fpm. We were 2 or 300 lbs under
gross at the time. It was just my wife and me with camping gear for a weekend.
