>>I have a Higgins F-20 For what it's worth: I've seen Scott Hewett be tempted and eventually launch one of his Higgins planes (the plane shown in "Lift Ticket") into *gorgeous*, coastal lift that was blowing 25MPH... and it wasn't enough. Unsuccessful.
I say he was tempted because he knew it would be close but decided to try it anyway. I'd *guess* that you're simply flying your plane in a more sane and practical configuration.
