Well you aint gunna be at MTOW at 7000' unless you took off illegally, its gunna take some time and fuel to get to 7000' with 100hp
There is always one.... Climbing through 7,000ft on an MTOW departure takes a while if that makes you happy....

Where I got the 162 from they were landing them way too fast, over 60 and were floating for hundreds of metres. Low 50's works well.

Skywagon - make sure you tell them they need flap locks attached when parking as when the wind blows from behing it will over-ride the springs and damage the flaps. They'll need to make something up and strap them on. The ones I fly have them strapped to the rudder pedals.
