Ken figured with the 2 of us and full fuel the plane was grossing about 1230 lbs and we broke ground in about 1000 ft, then held it in ground effect till reaching 90 knots or so. I don't think he had a vsi in the panel, but If I had to guess I'd say we were climbing at about 1000 fpm. Upon reaching 3000 ft we leveled off, set the power to 2900 rpm and reached about 145mph indicated 155mph true. Ken says flat out the plane will do about 175mph. Fuel burn at cruise according to Ken is about 5.5 gph, these are all impressive numbers when you consider that Ken's plane is 6" wider than a standard KR.
