Winter Flyer
Hi,
I am trying to fly in the frozen North Dakota. While my Alpha Trainer starts without fail, when I run the engine up after about 30 to 40 seconds the engine starts to stall. If I take it in the air it happens even faster. I checked the engine (Evolution .40) according to the book and have the right mix and increase in RPM when pinching off the fuel lines. I have skis on the plane and have done fine in warmer weather like 25 to 30 degrees. I have switched to a 30% nitro and did a little better, but I still have loss of engine power and have to dead stick it in after about 3 or 4 laps. Anyone else fly in the [&:]"COLD" sub zero temps that can help? Thanks ahead of time.

PS. The Alpha Trainer .40 is a great first plane. I have had great success with it. As for the occasional crash It was minor enough that I was flying again the next day.
