At 2500 feet I’d be taxiing really fast!

The highest I've been able to climb is 9000', takeoff at 1100 lbs.

2500 ft, only just doable (not very comfortable) for me but must keep away from high ground to the south, north & west of airfield.

Still in testing period for my Sonex Legacy, so have not gone over 6500 ft - previous 912ULS powered aircraft, 11000 ft to clear cloud - usually cruise 5000-8000 ft
