And suffer climb performance like this at full weight!
LOL, how do you cope!? Is that the best rate speed or a cruise climb?

cruise climb.

Best rate..........

Typical climb is 120-125 IAS, and even then its impressive. I try not to exceed 800-1000 fpm as it puts pressure on ATC to issue clearances......or me to stay below CTA, but lets say one day when Capt CM was at the stick ATC gave him a request to make at least 7000' by a certain time I think they thought it was Jet powered! He was there by abeam YRED.

Not tried, nor is it approved, but you are probably right.

Having said that with the chute deployed I bet the SR's spin nicely

Off topic but...

Would I buy one? Probably not. I'd likely buy an RV-10 kit and have the boys in Goolwa put it together for me.
My QB is not getting enough of my time and is needing the attention, who are these that assist in the building of my project from Goolwa?

Check PM's, rather than thread drift further.

Thanks all for the (mostly) constructive information on the Cirri...

Hopefully time will provide some enjoyable and reasonably economical aviating in our little jigger when we grab it in the next few weeks...

Keep the blue side UP (unless you're in an RV-10 or other Aerobatic machines that is....)
