Is there any way a glow engine can run at 10,000'? That is the limit for pilots without supplemental oxygen.
The Grand Lake, Colorado, Club has their Runway at over 10000 feet above sea level. Performance of a .60 is about like a .35
And you don't need supplimental Oxygen at that altitude-I have backpacked for days at 12000 feet, with many excursions to 14000+ during that time. It is a common passtime...
