Narrative:

On a flight from pmp to eyw, I flew at 2500 ft in mia class B airspace. I made a mistake scaling radial from dhp and at 12 NM started climb from 2500 ft to 4500 ft. Later, I realized it should have been 15 NM before I started climb. I am not sure, but I may have violated class B airspace because of my error.
