RE: what/how do you fly in the winter?
I made a set of "mitts" from a kids snowsuit. I put my hands in the leg holes and the tx goes in the top. I velcro the tx in (with the antenna out.) Also I cut out a piece and sewed in a clear vinal window to see the radio. This works great! I don't know why but it's really tough to fly with gloves on. Some fliers just cut out the thumb tips of their gloves.
