Thanks JW, thats what I figured. It wasn't me though, and it was between a cat (L) and a tri (W). I agree, I would have gone above, unless I were running the spin in which case I might have had the willies about going above- especially if it were gusty.
I was somewhat defending a friend (L) and I didn't agree with W's opinion of it. Seemed simple to me but I haven't been around as long as W so I wanted to double check.
