R66 CLIMB SPEED TEST

We wanted to test how long it would take to climb a fully loaded Robinson R66 at gross weight up to 10,000'. We were limited by cloud and restrictions from terminal airspace but we eventually made it up to 10,000'. We will need to do the test again but we averaged 1000'/minute climb rate at 95 percent torque and 70kts airspeed. Based on that it should take 10 minutes to climb up there. We will test it again to confirm that on a sunny day.
I filmed this vlog with an iphone X and a GoPro Hero 6.
