I'm trying to get a cross section of realistic climb numbers for a dillusional friend. (He's the guy building what he believes will be the lightest RV7) He believes if his 7 is around a 1000 lbs with 180hp IO360 that he will be able to achieve 2500 to 3000 fpm. I know, I know, stop laughing.
So if you could, your plane, engine/prop, weight, AS used for climb, your field elevation and rate of climb.
Thanks in advance. Others might be interested in this as a good baseline of performance.
