Does everybody there use it for leeching? I assume some people actually

Hi,

6500 is more than I need here in Minnesota too, but it is needed when we take the glider to Nephi. I don't see any reason to reduce the vertical range when flying in Minnesota.

Nice out-west conditions... 6500 is 2X the AGL cloudbase where I soar.


Everybody uses it for leeching.
