Hello Keith, - I live also in high land, my landing strip is at 5,029 ft ASL (gps numbers) .. We have twice take off from 8,015 with two on board-in the morning (temp about 75F),- paved strip.-(Atizapan) No big problem. Most of the strips around-my flying area,-are up to 7,300... - We normally cruise from 9,500 up.-- Our engine is a Rotax 912S 100 hp. - Hope this helps. - Saludos Gary Gower 701- 912S- (near 300 hrs) Flying from Chapala, Mexico. --- On Fri, 4/30/10, Keith Ashcraft wrote: From: Keith Ashcraft Subject: Re: Zenith701801-List: High and Slow Thanks for the info Chuck. Since I live at 9,100' the majority of my flying will be around 10.5 and above. Not a whole lot of fliers up at this altitu de, so I am having a hard time trying to find which engine would work best.

But the other day I wanted to see what my Jabiru 2200 powered CH 701 could do. I climbed to 10,000 ft . (11,300 density altitude), final climb rate at 10K was 200 to 300 ft/min. Engine was smooth all the way and temps were good.-Sure can see a long w ay from up there. Having Fun, Chuck D.
