It might have been the payload.... I know we were at or slightly over
gross... The stick had a very light "feel" to it, like we were close to
the stall..

And that is with the plane loaded to GW.



I agree, I have flown my RV-6 at 15000 ft several times when I had a
O-320 E2D on it and it was still climbing with no problem. I used to fly
across the mtns. in my Tripacer at altitudes of 14,500. John Ammeter
something does not sound right that you could not get your RV-6 above
13,500.
