Temperature is 33F, winds gusty 10-15. So, logically, at lunch I took the Boomerang out back for some test glides. All is well - CG feels good, slightly nose heavy relative to race trim. Fast flat glide but obviously very low wing loading, controls feel solid. I have triple rates on the flight mode switch, I used middle rate for this.

There, that's out of the way. Time to fly!

I hate running 1/2A's in cold weather, I always end up with frostbitten hands.. lessee what the weekend brings. Where I'm going to test fly, I could start inside and launch from the edge of the field, if I am too much if a sissy to pit it outside.
