Awesome set of photos there VF

Curious what kind of turbulence you can handle there. Is the VSI pegged? + or -? Rotor droop? How much altitude loss or gain?
With the minimal fuel you sometimes carry is there much danger of sucking air?

Were you just sitting at best ROC speed at those altitudes or were you able to fly a little faster?

Are there any issues with working above the RFM ceiling limits with EC? Insurance issues?
