I had my KR with a 2180 VW and RAF48 airfoil on standard built up wings
to 12,000' and it was still climbing at something like 300 FPM. I never
tried any higher.

faster than I can climb. ?I
generally don't carry O2, so don't spend much time above 13,500 anyway.

I was at almost 14,000 and had no adverse control feeling at all and no
thought that the plane could not keep climbing. I only had thoughts of
getting down before my body started complaining. Mine is the Diehl wing.

Amen to that! Trying to fly a squirrelly plane is why I didn't take note of
the 100 fpm point. At that kind of altitude, the max attainable indicated
airspeed and the stall speed
Hey,Sorry about the way my notes come through as run on sentences. The provider
scrambles it for some reason, not the way I type or send them. I'm changing
providers in the next week or so - that should stop it.Joe Horton

I will be doing a proper test wham the time comes. I'm asking a purely
generic question. I've been looking at the places where i have family
members I hardly ever get see that I may want to go visit. The plane will
be the mode. Some of these elusive family members live in Idaho. Just
looking
Phil,
I think the question "define a typical KR2" must be asked, and then somebody
goes and tests it on a "standard" day.
Wikipedia has this to say about the definition of "service ceiling":
The service ceiling is the maximum usable altitude of an aircraft.
Specifically, it is the density

The definition of service ceiling is the altitude at which the rate
12 matches
