Check it out.... 13,500`...the little engine that could (912F), with a Kitfox IV in back of it... but the CS prop sure helps!

It was still climbing at about 300-400 FPM at 60 MPH.

Are you getting ready to cross the mighty Manitoba mountains ? :)

Sad to say... I beleive the highest spot in Manitoba is still less than 2000`... and Saskatchewan? Oh well.... preparing for the big trip to the "best" coast!
