Hi Chad,
Of course you already know adding weight will reduce your climb rate.
It will also increase your takeoff roll.
I don't know how much the reduction in climb rate will be. Remember that
lots of spam cans only climb at a few hundred feet per minute when fully
loaded.
My only suggestion is that you carefully pick a point on the runway
where you will abort the takeoff if not yet airborne. This should be
around half way to the far end of the runway. Once you are airborne you
can do a similar check while flying the pattern before departing for
your destination. If you can't make it to pattern altitude before
getting half way downwind then it might be prudent to land and adjust
your propeller for more effective climb.
Good luck,
Paul

Hello all. Quick question....
I changed the pitch of my prop for a cruise setting, so I lost about 200-300' min doing so at 1100lbs. At 1100lbs, (1300 is gross) I saw 1200-1300'/min at 1100lbs. With the pitch change i see between 600-1100'/min depending on the day. What impact would adding 200lbs to bring it to gross do you think? My concern is whether it will climb or not. It's a ROTAX 912ULS.
IM flying gross tomorrow am from a 4000' runway. I'd LOVE some feedback on this. Hope I'm not getting myself in over my head at gross. Guess the only way to find out is try.
ALL COMMENTS APPRECIATED!!!!!
Thanks!
