I haven't normalized it for temperature, but rate of climb drops off to 200 ft/min at roughly 14,000' at 1200# gross, or 15,500' with a lighter load. In either case, it's higher than I am going to fly without O2, although better performance up to those altitudes would be nice. That's with the Diehl wings that are a bit longer than the stock KR-2 wings.
I see my cruise speeds start to drop off above 9000' and see a significant impact to cruise at altitudes above 11,000'.
