There is a tx mitt on ebay now. Cheap nice shape, I have the same model. Item # 170297579544
I don't even think of my hands. After I flown I try to think if my hands were cold and I don't know. When I get the plane ready; yes then there cold but while flying I don't even pay attention to'em( they could be on fire and I wouldnt even know). The joke going around the field is;when its too cold and windy for everybody else; Brian ( me) will be flying. I guess since I'm 18 and the rest of the club members are in their 30s and 40s; I can handle a bit more; one guy told me wait 20 years and see if you still fly in that type of weather. Right now I'm pretty much flying by myself unless I bring a friend or family member; which I like to do.
^^^ sounds like me (im 16)
I fly electrics at a baseball field 100 yards from my house, its to cold when the lipo's cant deliver enough current power the motor, or if you throttle up and it takes a few seconds to actually spin the motor (about 20 degrees).

as for nitro planes, my field is 20 min away so i dont bother to go out unless its above freezing (including wind chill) because my hands get to cold with thin gloves after 30-45 min (i usually go to fly for 2 or more hours)
