Do you have a D2CT? What does its manual show as its
climb rate at a
density altitude of 6,000' and 10,000' (just marginally
above the Nevada
terrain on a hot day)?


About 130fpm and 50fpm respectively in 15m unballasted
mode and a slightly better in 18m but not shown graphically.
I have sent you a scan of the manual page.
