Default Flyin' in the snow

ctseaplane, that's strange, I've used woodies when flying that day and the covering is still in perfect shape I don't see how moisture can affect the plastic well, maybe I was lucky, but anyways, don't let the wood get wet, who knows how moisture can affect that, I'm sure it would make the blade much heavier.
Good Morning

Snow crystal will damage your blade covering. Blades will ice up in very cold mist. I love my gassers during winter. Suggest that pipe insulations be used on the skids. I use the small diameter then covered with the largest diameter to provide a good footprint and to keep the t/r out of the snow. Check your batteries before every flight. I use a transmitter muff. Be careful your eye glasses don't fog up when there is no wind and that your eyes don't water-up when there is wind.
