you might want to wrap the engine head in tin foil to keep the engine temps up

I dont think thats what he's sayin, once you start it you should go richer because in the winter there's less moisture in the air, therefore the engine needs to run richer. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong!

well you got the right thought since indoors there is less moisture with the heater on but how runs their nitro in their house?

im not sure about the moisture thing, but you definitely have to run it richer than usual or your engine will starve of fuel. i run mine in winter and it bogs on top end if its not rich mixture.
