Perhaps my choice of words was out of order and as such I would apologise to EGCJFlyer, but I felt he was hopeing we would all tell him to go, perhaps when he really knew this may not be the best thing.
I sometimes wonder why pilots do not sit down with a CFI and discuss such flights.
Are some CFIs not interested?
This forum is a great place for advice, but if I was his CFI I would load the a/c to max and let him try it on a long r/w.
Also those of us who live in the North west know about strong winds sometimes comming without warning and catching the best out.
Stay safe
Tony
