Default Getting the most done.

Ever heard of the expression winter project ? To me it implies less flying and more time to build, right ? Then why is it that I seem to get more projects ,glassing and rebuilds done this time of year? Maybe Winter project is a metaphore for the start of a project . What do you think? NJ

Because in the winter the glue is not cooperating, the humidity drives you nuts at the paint job - lack of oxygen makes you think slower (little to non ventilation due the heat preservation)
If you live in Kansas, a trip to the hobby shop can take you and Toto far from home....
If you live in around Fargo a short walk to the barn could cost you some toes....

And living in AZ or NV in the winter means you will fly MORE and build during the 'summer' (AKA HOT) months Not that I would know or anything.... [8D]

true true...
I think I build harder in the summer because a day at the field is very motivational!

Your statement holds some truth to it, by 10 o'clock this time of year were into the 90's and rising. Teetering on playing havoc on our 4 strokes ,not to mention heat strokes. ........ , but what about the rest of you ?
