Dave,
I have a STD/RG with a Franklin 220 HP and an IVO prop. I have flown out of KANK in Salida, CO (7523') at full gross and 80F with no problem. The IVO in flight adjustable prop makes a big difference.

I'm heading back out west next week in my STD-RG, with it's normally aspirated 200 HP lycoming. One of the places we'll be visiting is Pagosa Springs, Colorado (elevation 7664 feet - yeow!).
I've been into Santa Fe a few times (elevation 6348 feet) with no significant scary departures, but, wow... 7600+ seems mighty high to this flatlander....
So, what's the highest elevation airport you've been into? Please include your aircraft & engine for comparisons....
Thanks!
Dave
