For those wondering if a Legal Eagle will fly at higher field elevations long about this weekend we will find out Monument Valley field elevation is 5,200 feet with length of 3,400.
If interested will be posting travels and pictures on my blog at Legal Eagle Ultralight Flying Adventures (http://lesandlegaleagleadventures.blogspot.com/)

Les,
You have it down to a tee. Nice to show how one person can tear down and load by your self. Have a great week.

Les, wore me out watching. How many miles do you walk during that process? Clearly a well worked-out method.
When we had LEU Treehugger flying, I decided one nice day to go for an altitude record. Our field is about 750 ft MSL, and I climbed and climbed, finally reaching about 1800 MSL, only about 1000' above ground. That was all she had. Old girl was definitely over-weight and underpowered, and I was a challenging load. I think our light-weight guy, about 75 lbs lighter than me, could have broken that record easily.
I know you will do better. Have a great weekend.
