I am just getting into this hobby and was wondering if it is ever too cold for the engines to run... Took my plane up and it was about 28F outside and I took off the runway and flew for about 2 minutes or so and got to approx 500 feet or more up and I heard the engine shut off... had my first attempt at a flame out landing... made it back to runway but dropped wing into dirt and broke the prop... anyone else have problems running these in the cold? oh the engine is an O.S. .40 Thanks, Mike
P.S. just thought of something else.... I didn't see an air cleaner for the carb? Is a dusty runway bad for the engine? Thanks again
