Default RE: Any tips on flying when cold and snowy

So on the way to the fly in I picked up some zippo fluid.about 30 guys.Worked great. Seems it might be a good to use on any stubburn engine any time!

Thought my big stick would just go through the snow and take off. About 3/6 inches,low 20,s .not gonna happen, try,d 3 times. Then another guy grapped it and we hand launched it. Worked like a charm . good to know. Hand warmers in jersey gloves worked good. No gloves was not a option. Floats seemed to work best. The club hosting the fly in
