Jim, me thinks you might be off by a decimal place or
two in your rate of climb increase figures. I figure an additional 33 fpm
(total 1033fpm) with a 2hp increase.
Also just a theory

True. But that 2% increase in power is ALL EXCESS
THRUST (over and above what it takes to hold exactly what you've got - say 90
kts and 1000 fpm climb). Two hp would be 66000 #'/min which with a 2000#
airplane produces 3300 fpm rate of climb - ABOVE what you started with
!! Just a theory .... Jim S.
