Sportrider,
You need to go down to your local supermarket and ask them to let you stand in their walk-in freezer for 1/2 hour.
Immediately after that time reconsider this idea to move to Colorado.
You seem to be a desert rat - Colorado has snow, a lot of it!
I'm up in the low mountains of Northern California trying to fugure out how to get back to the Imperial or Coachella Valleys.
Just my opinions, we're all different.
Good Luck,

Yes, Colorado is miserable. Whatever you do, don't move here

I have a 46fx powered nexstar and it does ok. It won't fly stupid vertical or anything. Actually, right now it won't fly at all what with the engine problems I've been having. There are plenty of folks at our club with Saito powered warbirds and they fly incredibly well. Also there's a lot of gassers around and they don't seem fazed at all by the elevation. In summary, you may notice a slight drop in performance, but doubt it's anything serious.
