For what its worth .....I stopped at 12,000 / 45 deg F OAT and she was still climbing at 500 ft/min @ 80 Kts / 5150 RPM. It was me at 210 lbs and a 1/2 tank of gas.
Paris man, next time I come to see you we're going to work on that 3500.....maybe 4500 ???

Mine has made it up to 70 ft so far, hoping for better as time goes on.
Is the LSA limit 10,000', or is that just a Sport Pilot limit?
if you can get a 912iS into a 12 you might see numbers like this...
" the higher you go the advantage of the fuel injection will be seen. In talks with the engineering staff a Tecnam test aircraft was taken to higher than 18,000 ft and was still climbing better than 100 feet per min.....cant do that with the standard 912, no way."
Obviously you'll need some way to breath up there.

I went to 12,500' and cut the engine to glide back down, engine out. The -12 makes a fair glider also!
