V speeds / service ceiling for a Quicksilver

Frankly, I will be surprised if your aircraft will get to 12,500. But of course the way to find out is to try to go there. Wear warm clothes.

It might.

My Sprint II did in 2005.

I took a picture at altitude.

I could have probably coaxed it to just under 13K but it was climbing about 25 feet a minute at full power according to the EIS and I'd had enough.

I would think your Sport 2S would do it if the Sprint II with floats did it.

Yes, dress warm. I got some strange looks taking off in a winter coat, hats and gloves in August. It was cold at altitude.
