 I remember a discussion last year when someone couldn't get their monowheel
off a high altitude Bishop, California airport without partially raising the
gear and flaps since density altitude that day was fairly high...and all of
this was with the turbo 914 engine.

The engine was actually a 912S, turning a Whirlwind constant-speed prop.
I'm sure the 914 would have no problems in such conditions.
