I've thermaled a Boomerang combat wing to cloud base, with witnesses. A
local weather service office confirmed that cloud base was over 2000' AGL on
that day. Personally, I am only going to bank on it being 1000'.
I can say that my vision varies. On this day it was pretty good. But, a 4
foot span combat wing is mighty small at a 1000'. I envy you guys (you know
who you are) who can scape the stratosphere.
Personally I'd rather fly the plane 50' in front of me than hundreds of feet
above me.
