To TomBates - this winter hasn't been "yucky" for me - cause I learned how to fly in the cold and take off and land on snow - it's AWESOME - I think I might enjoy a snowy runway better than a dry one - just get a "Radio Warm" for your hands and radio, wear long underwear and a hood, and buy skis for your plane and you're set. Best of all - MUCH less competition for a snow-covered field on the weekends!

Was flying my new 70" Revolver (with a .91 OS 2S) this morning in the Bronx - was at the field at 6am. Unfortunately, the snow was patchy - did manage one good landing - had to weave a bit around some grassy areas (keeps it exciting). On the second landing, though, I didn't miss that last grassy spot - the skis caught and it flipped the plane onto it's back, like a turtle. Nut much damage, though. Just two broken control horns and some mud. Hopefully we'll get another 2" of snow tonight and I'll be flying there again in tomorrow morning. Otherwise will be transitioning back to wheels.

btw - Real Flight 4.5 is excellent - WELL worth the $200.
