On my stock KR-2 with a 2180 I got about 200-300 FPM climb at 10,000' with
just me in it.  I am going by my old rusty memory, but that should be pretty
close.

Interesting,  I've had several responses like this one,
indicating alot of folks are geting their 10k or 12k
ft (even more) with no problem.

Here in the Seattle area, the mountains to the east are pretty
close. I'd like to have strong climb performance
above 6k through to 12k or 14k.  No plane I've flown out
of Seattle could get to 12k before reaching the mountains
which are very close to Seattle.  As I recall, I could get
to around 6 or 7k by the time I reached the mountains, clearing
them by only 3k or so.  If I wanted more clearance I'd
have to turn South or North and climb (very slowly) from
6 to 9 or so (doubling the time of my trip across the
rocks.)

If I could get a good (non-diminishing) climb rate I'd
be alot happier.  I know the prop & wings will loose
their grip as the air thins, but if the engine can hold
it's revs that should improve things quite a bit.

thanks for all your responses!
