Default RE: flying in winter

i tried to start my plane yesterday... in my driveway. It started ok but kept stalling all the time... i had to play with the needle valve open up... few click... then at some points it seemed not to be enough... or to much....

Should i start from all the way close and after i open it up a few turns?

Also my plane is a alpha trainer... with wings holding with rubber bands... i really dont like how they were when i removed them after i was done with the plane and i was taking it inside my house. They were all frozen up... but stretched up... i dont know if you understand what i mean by that. They were not flexible anymore!!! thats bad to me.

I saw last summer one guy with the same plane as mine but he modified the wing so it kinda bolt on to the fuselage... anyone familiar with that? Because no way i can contact that guy so he tells me how to do the mods...

I dont want to go fly my plane with frozen rubber band... it could be dangerous to have the wings come loose.

here is my plane:
