We got up to 10,000 feet. Full throttle and a small amount of waste gate closure.
   We will have more engine data tomorrow.

   This video is only 25 seconds and my guess is it ends at  3000 to 4000 feet.
   The aircraft  is just a speck at that point.

   I am not sure as the guys forgot the camera looking at the altimeter.

   The angle of climb is about 80 to 90 degrees. Near vertical.
   Dan says it is real critical. He has no visual reference so we are going
   to put an aerobatic device on the left wing so he has a visual angle  reference.

   It is doing about 110 Kt at that angle.

   110 Kts is 126 MPH or is 184 FPS or 11,000 feet per minute.
   Check my arithmetic.

   It appears the record is a piece of cake if we can climb near vertically
   at 110 Kts. In fact we would push it so far out of sight no other
   engine would equal it other than another Wankel.


   We had a problem with the RV8 chase plane as the alternator failed
   and it did not have mags. It had something called e-mags.

   Of course it can't climb  near as fast as the Wankel so the Wankel
   loses it anyway..

That is very, very, exciting news,,
