I do not know about y0ou other rc flyers out there but with this winter weather in arkansas its about to drive me crazy i am rdy for spring so i can fly....
</p>

I agree! I'm dying here! Although we've had a very mild winter, I only get to fly on the weekends and so far the weather just won't co-operate! I've got my fingers crossed for tomorrow morning, but the weather report is looking like rain [:@]

Thanks to Global Freezing,I won't be able toteach my studentsSunday, because of 20 degree F in Louisiana. I needed a break, high performance planes were making me VERY bored. Hope I can find the flame again.

How bad can it be in Arkansas???

It was 9 below when I got up this morning!

well there is about 8 inchs of snow on the ground right now

What part of AR are you in?

9 below isn't so bad if compared to other places, but it is cold for us bipedal primates.

Make it work for you. I've got four airframes in various stages of assembly/disassembly/reassembly to get ready for Spring. Made some changes to my shop and wired in another much needed wall outlet in my "hanger". Winter is the time for building and alterations.

When the weather's cold and blustery,

That's the time for balsa dustie!

Now THAT is hilarious! I am going to have to remember your saying, Charlie, LOL.

i am in northeast arkansas... we only see snow about 2 to 3 times a year this time last year we had the worst ice storm they had ever saw... around here. people where with out power for 2 to 3 weeks.... now this year on the same week as last year.....we got one of the biggest snow storms that we have every seen... and would you know it ..... Ihave gotten both arf kits that i have built the week before the storm..... now i am waiting on my experimental Home builds rv6 to get back from the hobby shop getting it recoverd to match my uncles plane that i painted last october... so the only thing i have to do while cooped up in this snow is get stick time in on the Real Flight..... and sit her and watch movies with the wifey.... whooooooooooooohooooooooooooooooooo lol i am sick of movies lol

Up here in the Canadian Rockies, we just get some skis.

Seriously, we build lots in the winter, then go all out during the "flying season". I've got 2  giants to maiden (1 kit on the table,  ARF soon to arrive) and a race truggy to break in as well. If the weather co-operates we get to the park with the 1Kg electrics, some on skis, some without. We do fly indoors at the high school once a week to keep the rust outta the thumbs.

I aint ready- If spring arrived tommorrow that would bite. I would still fly, but projects I have on hold would stay that way. -BW

Same here in NC, got a foot of snow in my front yard.....just finished up a wing, got too many planes half done...Rog
ha, while I was typing this,, the mailgirl brought me a box with batts and props for yet another project and then I had to go out and push her out of the snow!

I gotta tell you guys.. The weather prediction was for a dusting of snow today. It was supposed to go south of us here in New Jersey. I live in Atlantic County, which is considered "south Jersey" but not as south as Cape May or Cumberland and Salem counties. They were supposed to get more than we were.

Well, it's 1851 ... 6:51PM, the big hand is on the..... and we now have close to a foot on the ground. Yeah, dusting. Right.

NO joy this weekend, that's for sure, you see, none of my planes have ski's on them. Blah.. []

I feel your pain bbrown, I live in eastern Oklahoma and we got about 6 inches of snow in that same storm. We never get that much down here. we now have snow but it's going to melt off this week and then it will be muddy, looks like I wont be flying for a while.

NY winters are terrible as well. I usually use the dead time in the winter to build, fly my G4.5 Simulator on MP and come in here to talk R/C when I'm not working my regular job.

I'm still flying, but not below 5°F (-15°C). When it's cold, I don't stay hours outside, I just do 2 flights and then I go back home. I think I'm the only one in my club to fly during winter. The other ones fly indoor.
And I'm also waiting forward spring.

They have electricity in Arkansas?

min,
have generator and 5 gals. gasoline to power PC and satelite tv system all on front porch

Great pic, where did it come from?

Yes but if the gerbals that turn the generators don't get fed then it's lights out

I thought they ran an extension cord from Kansas

Bob

witch came first ARK or KANSAS

I don't understand why you feel so crippled by the snow and the cold. If it gets to the high 20's here in Jan or Feb, I am saying hooray, but otherwise, order some skis from Tower and get out. Do you think it feels any warmer to us from the northland? No, we just deal with it, because if we don't, we have a sorry existence in the winter. Get out and fly, I love winter flying, the only thing that makes me disappointed is that fewer people do it, so I miss the comraderie.
Good Luck,

The cold hasn't stopped me from flying. Last week was the first full week since I've been flying that Ididn't get a flight in. Ididn't fly because of the winds. Winter here brings 15-20 MPH direct crosswinds, with gusts to 45. All last week. THAT keeps me home. Ican do the 15-20, it's the gusts Idon't want to mess with.
