Also, our Cessna loads in with 264 pounds of fuel, a single pilot at 180 lbs, no other passengers and no baggage. I checked the gross weight under the Fuel and Payload dialog at is says 1944 lbs. The data Erik provided says max gross weight is 23000 lbs. This loading difference probably accounts for some of the disparity in climb performance.
