Default RE: Any winter fliers

Some of the busiest days at our flying field happen on a nice winter day. I have to fly to Utah or Colorado in order to experience real winter though.

Cold weather engine starting tip: Prime the engine with gasoline (cigarette lighter fluid) instead of glow fuel. It'll light right up even when you hand start it.
Flash point of methanol...55 degrees F.
Flash point of gasoline....minus 40 degrees F.
