Well the snow is starting to come so I ordered a set of skis today for the Kadet (
http://www.greathobbies.com/products...rod_id=JADS360 ) and was wondering some of the things a person needs to do for setting up the plane for winter flying.
Some of the things I was pondering are:
Run a higher nitro fuel- I'm burning 15% now, step up to 20 or 30%?
Go with a hotter plug- Using OS8 now, step up to an A3?
Larger battery capacity- Have 600 mah now, go up to a 1100 mah since capacity drops in cold temps
Some kind of heat shield for the front of engine cylinder?
How does the covering fair in cold temps? I have the plane covered in Ultacote, will it be brittle and break easy?
Any other things a person needs to address for winter flight that a person can think of.
thanks
