The Burrito's a very light design: I don't know of anything I'd feel safe doing to it. My advice would be to go with it as designed.

Our elevation here is over 1200 feet (about the same as Scottsdale) -- and we don't think of that as high unless you compare it to the nearest town which is only a few miles away but over 500 feet below us -- and we don't even think about elevation in choosing airplanes. We also have ridges nearby that are close to 3,000 feet and there's a lot of glider activity around.

I think the Burrito will do jsut great for you.
