I can assure you it doesn't work up here at our temps and altitude.
It is a job in and of itself to get one in for demo purposes at the trade shows.
Hence no one uses them, popular at the coast though.

On a warm day, even a 22 requires some encouragement.
Cabri is just too heavy. They are also losing them at a pace, all from letting the tail overtake the rest of the aircraft on landing.
