Doran, On the trip to MVN last year, the Black Bird was at a GPS altitude of 13,850 going over the clouds at the peak of the Smokey mount range. She was in communication with ATC for the trip up and back. This bird is a "climbing fool", she just loves it. Besides that, altitude is your friend.

MVN Daniel R. Heath -?Lexington, SC -----Original Message----- On that note it seems that some of you are flying at altitudes that some of the bigger boys fly at. I remember with my other experimental airplane at 5500 feet I felt awfully small so I stayed at altitudes at 3500 feet or less because of my model size airplane! Even in the Cherokee Arrow or going over Lake Michigan I usually stay to 7500 feet or less. You guys have a lot of guts!
