well well well, I forgot about this thread I started a little over 7 years ago! I can't resist reviving it by saying we ended up moving last year to Oklahoma City for work and we LOVE it. It's an 11 minute drive to an awesome paved runway RC field (Baxter RC at Lake Stanley Draper). This may be an exceptionally nice winter but we've been in T-shirts sometimes and flying on almost every weekend already since New Years. It'll be completely sunny and in the low 70s here this weekend. I flew here last summer in the hot weather and it was not as annoying to me as Florida was. The humidity is a non factor here for me though the sun is definitely laser intense mid to late summer so fly in the morning with a sun block stand or later in the afternoon/evening gets it done. Bonus, it stays daylight over half an hour later than it did in Philadelphia so that stretches out the time for flying after work or weekend evenings. Now the downside is that pattern is pretty much dead these days in Oklahoma but IMAC is very active all around including my club. The average pattern contest is HOURS further away than the average IMAC contest for this upcoming season. Saying that, this year I maidened the 2m sebart prometheus bipe with a V4 contra drive and I have a new Alchemy and a YS 200s CDI GLOW setup on order so I'm not deterred completely. I've now been to central Texas in the Summer and OKC is definitely much less hot and humid, for what it's worth.
