I'll tell you one thing for sure that I know from float flying.

Receivers do NOT like water or moisture or anything of the sort. I had a small drop hit an unprotected receiver and the controls went completely haywire. If you're going to fly when it's actually snowing, i'd consider sticking your RX and ESC in a balloon.

Well, i'd suggest not to fly when it's snowing period, but if you must, the above advice is good..



Also, just curious but are you talking T-rex 450 or T-rex 600? The Helimax .30 floats will be way too big for a T-rex 450.

Also some other cold weather flying problems:

- Links become brittle and can snap (i've had this happen to me).

- Gyro's don't operate too well in cold weather (at least, not as good as they do in warm weather).

- Lithium batteries lose capacity and discharge ability in cold weather. I'd advise keeping your packs warm prior to a flight so that you get full performance from them during.

Just a few things i've picked up living in the great white north here .
