Beery Miller sets personal best Altitude record at 12,211 feet during PPG Climb

I beat my previous altitude climb record by just over 200', however I did not beat another local pilot's climb record of 12,576' because I ran out of gas a couple of minutes too early. I should have put the extra 4 liters of fuel in my tank and then I would have shattered the record. Maybe next week if the conditions are good. Temps at 12,000' were 41°F and were quite chilly with a t-shirt and short pants. Enjoy

I bless you guys trying for another record height. I hope it gives you what you are looking for. Best of luck and safely done or not

You are making me crazy about wanting one of these.

Pretty impressive that a motor with a carburetor can make that big of a climb without adjustment.

Well....that proves it! THE EARTH IS FLAT!

And I still had some more room available if I had not ran out of fuel.

How long was the glide down?
Did you do anything to get down quicker than just glide?

[@bobsaget2958]

does your parachute have its own runway

[@jimrut2002]

did your hairy legs get cold at 12K feet. Suspicious!!

[@BeeryMiller]

Just takes a bit of $change$.
