Hi,

I went flying today and I had a bit of a crash. The engine stopt running direct after take-of. I managed to make a 180 degree turn but I couldn' t pull due to a strong wind. It landed real hard on the nose and the nosewheel broke together with the firewall. It isn't much to repair ( I wanted to install a tailwheel anyway) so that makes no problem. The engine cutting is a problem and I want to solve it. It was very cold today ( 0 degrees celcius) and it didn't wanted to start easily. What sort of fuel mixture do you have to use in this cold weather?

Thanks
