Good to see videos from you again Grant. Looks like the middle of the day and no clouds or turbulence, what time was it ? I think the RC plane went into the trees !

Grant,
I'm curious how well a 503 performs on a MK III. Could you tell us what your max. climb rate is with just you in it, and with a passenger on board?
What is the empty weight of your Kolb?
Thanks,
Jimmy Y

I flew from 7 to 8pm so it was not mid day. Wind was 5 to 7mph direct cross wind. The guy said it was in the corn but I couldn't see it!
I made 4 takeoffs in 95o weather and a Density altitude of 2,800 feet. Climb rates were 484, 520, 507 and 465 fpm. Field elevation about 468 feet.
These climb rates are computed from data from my GPS. i have it set to record ever second so I have plenty of data points to average to get an accurate reading.
Empty weight 493 pounds. I weight 155lbs Fuel 60 lbs, ballast 15lbs, camera and gps 4 lbs. So 727 pounds takeoff weight.
I don't have any data flying 2. The plane did fine from a 3000 foot runway when I took my lessons in it. Takeoff weight was about 875lbs with 2 on board. We flew it in 100o summer temps with no problems.
In cooler air winter time it climbs 600 to 650 FPM
