-20* days are not uncommon here. Even if my thumbs could handle it, the nylon motor mounts and other plastic parts would surely break. It's just starting to get chilly here, but with school my flying days are definitely limited, and the days are really flying by, so I figured it would be a good time to get the thread going.

Thanks for all the input. Much less painful than I anticipated. And yes, the winter will be a great time for a new ARF assembly...I wonder what it will be?
