I have Dynamic Soared a Spectre VR (5 oz HLG) at Parker without problems and that is one hugely delicate craft. RCHLG are built to take 60 MPH + launches. This assumes that you can land safely. One additional consideration is that ailerons are very handy if there is turbulence. breck >However, it just occurred to me that each summer we go to Captiva (SW >Florida) for 2 weeks and there are some small dunes off which I might be >able to get some lift.
