RE: winter flying
Yeah, I remember those days.
I have also forgot them, lol......
Ya know, i don't remember going flying ever with snow at a field.
Dang, I can almost, if I really think hard, remember what snow is like....
I enjoyed this thread. Makes me thankful that I live in a state that has high taxes.
I mean, nice weather....

RE: winter flying
Hi Rune.
Yeah, we have got some snow in Moss as well.
When I first started flying R/C models, I used to go out when it was -15 to -20 degrees C. (That's about 0 deg. F)
Last week I was out at -10 C, and it felt bitterly cold. Must be the age, I actually had to land before my batteries were empty.
Enclosed is a picture of my latest project, own design, composite fuselage, Hacker C50 motor.
How's your Temptation progressing?

RE: winter flying
well has been sick the last month some virus infection fever...but..wings and stabs covered fuse is soon read for paint job just some sanding left !
probably 2-3 weeks before test flight!
your new plane looks nice ... flies ok???
haha and age sure have some effect ..remember we was 10-12 years walking down on the frozen lake with our graupner "Terry's" and frozen our finger blue...but had a lot off fun!
we also about 17 years ago had what i think is the only F3a FAI contest ever that was held on ice on that lake and temp was around -10 degrees i think Tore Jemtegaard won that contest with his "Super Curare" the same plane he enterd the Pensacola wolrd champion ships with!
