I had three really good flights today here in England, at Wroughton. It was zero degrees C at 500'above sea level and with the wind chill was minus 8. I had no problems at all with my AMT (NL) Mercury HP and the thrust was just amazing. It is interesting just how reliable all our equipment is, batteries that a few years ago would have died very quickly,etc.

As Tom said the biggest problem is keeping your hands warm, oh well not long until Florida jets......
