Weights and performance

Speaking of the West...
What climb rate is reasonable at 9000 feet?
We did a 50 nm "ballistic" leg this morning and got to 9500 feet before
having to descend. At 9,000 and 13*C the climb rate was down to about
400 fpm at 70 KIAS even though we were at least 200 lb under gross with
little luggage and half fuel.

Hi Garry !
Thanks ! No worries about mogas when there's lots of
Western Hospitality !! :-) Ramblers are always pleasantly surprised
at how helpful people are, all over this great country ! I really
wish we could get more folks from Quebec & Eastern Canada
to join us .... (Some of them have 912 Rebels, and we already
have TWO of those coming !)
