Just put 4 flights on the Cub with ski's off the lake. 24 degrees, no wind. Hardest part is getting thru some of the snow.. The homemade ski's are the first ones that I have everhad thatwork so well. Was suprized to find the ice in such poor shape, very mushy under the snow. Little spooky to lift my foot up and see the print fill with water. Last week it was -20 below, would think with all the cold we have had the ice would be better.http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...n/drowning.gif

Just got back from flying. Used my Gee Bee Seahawk on floats and my Dehavilland Beaver on floats. Probably high twenties. Not bad. maybe go out on Sunday also.

It was 65 on the coast, a little nippy. But tomorrow they forecast 74. Planes are on charge. T shirt and shorts at the flying field tomorrow.

Why do people give up 4 or 5 months a year of their lives when you're not hibernating bears?
I just got back from Virginia Beach, with a high of 30 the one day I was there.

It's good to be back home. I'm going down to the keys in my fishing boat, if we get another cold snap.
Anything below 60 bugs me.

Yeah...but how hot does it get during the Summer? I can't stand that 90+ stuff anymore...not to mention the humidity. I spent a week at a friends in Daytona several years back...late August...it was over 100 a few times...sheesh![X(]

I'm not a huge fan of the cold either...low 20's (F ) is cold enough for me to go out flying...
I also have a Gee Bee Sea Hawk, TT .42 GP powers it quite nicely. Those Gee Bee floats aren't the best looking, but the milk jug plastic that they're made of slides across the snow really "cool" like...;)

I've got a OS40LA on my Seahawk. 6 ounce tank, more then enough power.

RE: Gee!! when is the weather going to give a guy a break
 

Forecast is 100+ and light winds today

RE: Gee!! when is the weather going to give a guy a break
 

I like heat, makes the bones feel so much better. You can keep all the humidity and the bugs though. As for those 100+days Prop can't take, I look forward to them but I do like it in the 80s and 90s better though. Sun is out and looks like a great weekend here in Vegas Land. Just hope the roads getting to the field at the lake aren't flooded from last weeks rain.

Yep, we have serious heat issues here in FL in the summer. That's my build time, July-August! You can still fly every morning comfortably until 10-11am. I wear a hat and bring lots of water.
Heat is uncomfortable, cold can be actually painful.
