I'm considering flying to Gatlinberg TN next month over some pretty tall rocks. Does anybody here have any experience with mountain flying in a light sports plane? (Mine isn't technically a LSA, but at 1600 pounds it gets tossed around just about as much.) It's way too far out to get any kind of weather outlook, but in general do you think an early morning crossing would be the best. If I start at Anderson SC (KAND) it's only about an hour to get to Gatlin berg (KGKT) and I'd plan to cross at 8500 feet. Any input would be appreciated. (I'll only go if its VFR.) Thanks.
