Tried out the "climb performance using level acceleration" as described by Nigel Speedy in a Kitplanes article, probably in the September 2018 issue. I cheated a little, did not climb to alt at low speed with full power, instead I slowed to 60kt and then faster than usual dialed in full power. As the results basically confirmed the numbers from Vans I call this solution acceptable but I will validate on later flight using the more correct method.

Flight 12, first climb performance test
Moved the RV to its new home today, lousy weather all day so just made the short flight while there was a short time window with a 1000 foot ceiling.
