Winter Flying??? Back in the old days, before 1985 when I lived in the Chicago area, I remember having fun with winter flying. I couldn't do it much below 20* F though. Ski flying is great sport.

Campy pretty well states it A-OK. However one point that many miss is a great starting prime fluid. Simply mix a small squirt bottle with 1/2 your glow fuel and 1/2 regular GASOLINE. Works like a charm and no problem with starting down to at least 10* F.

Back in those old days before all the Safety Code (U.S. / AMA) stuff we had our personal warmer along so as to help things along. Of course good ol' brother "Jack Daniels" was the warmer. Life was so much nicer back then.
