Hello folks, I have a few questions I know you guys can answer,

This one one is for folks that fly in the Phoenix area. Does the 110+ degree weather effect the engines, do they overheat? Are you guys limited in flight times? Or is this the time of year us desert folk build?
Second, Ive been getting some stick time on a sim (fms) what I have noticed if I apply a little rudder in any direction the nose drops a bit. Is this common in real flight?
Lastly, I bought an Airtronics VGR4 new with all thats normally included about 3-4 years ago. Ive maybe fully charged it one or twice without ever discharging it in that time period. Are my batteries still considered new or have they lost their ability to hold a charge?

Thx in advance for your answers
