Go for it Mark, I have been doing it with out a first thought let alone a
2nd thought. But maybe you shouldn't judge by me I used to go Hang
Gliding down to 0 deg. ground temp. The plane doesn't care about the temp
as near as I can tell. Just don't go beyond your threshold for pain. I
guess shivering legs and shaking hands would be cause for concern on
landing. My cabin heat is not all that effective below 20 deg OAT.
Have fun it just may be a little shorter than you would like in which
case you should fly twice.
