Default Here's a solution to your Winter 3D flying!

… bad weather knitting … he he he.

Used the Radio Glove again this weekend. My hands were warm. It was only in the 40s so I did not need to use a disposable heat pack. I really like the thing.

See also these sites for a less expensive models:

Both of these looked good to me as well. I though about making one but I’m not very handy with a sewing machine. There are actually some more expensive units out there. Take a look at these units:

I particularly like the sound of the "Arctic" model. I might have bought one of these - I just did not think about it early enough. I ended up with the Radio Glove primarily because they could ship it to me in time for the Thanksgiving break. It is expensive but like I said it is nicely made and it well though out in its design. If you saw one in person, you would see what I mean. The have a stiffener sewn in around the antenna hole. They also have an elastic strap that holds the radio inside the glove. This helps the thing keep its shape with the radio centered. These are small features but they do serve a purpose. Somebody definitely though about what they were doing when they designed the Radio Glove.

Having a window is helpful when you are not flying - but it is not required. I do not use the window when I am flying for obvious reasons. If you are planning to fly in cold weather, you should make or buy one of these units -they make flying a lot more enjoyable.
