n86121 is on a distinguished road
Robertson STOL trick might work for faster climb

I have a T337D RSTOL.

To go up FAST I

1, 1/3rd flaps down (more lift, yes more drag but more lift too),
2. 100% power,
3. cowl flaps open
4. About 120 mph indicated - can see horizon and lots of cooling airflow

Give it a try and report back?
