It was only me today who was flying a F3A plane its my old Integral powred with a cheap China engine from Hobbycity with a Jeti Spinn and 5000Mah Flightmax 20c, it works sofare but have only 6 flights on it . You also see what happen when you land outside the runway ! |

Oh man that's lots of ICE....EEEEE there how do you fly... in so cold do u ever have any radio issues like range... problems.. great passion & great dedication... keep up..:D |
RE: Winter greeting
Since the winter up here never seems to end ( "a man has to do what a man has to do......") I ended up flying at -10C. Boy, that's cold! I can only respect our friends from the north! What a nightmare! I can only hope it will really be finished now in a few weeks.
Radio's etc. seem to work fine, you do have to watch your batteries though. Volkert |
RE: Winter greeting
Great to see you guys alive, doing some serious flying :).
Been flying smaller e-pattern, kept it down to -7 ,-8 celsius or so ... too cold on the fingers :) Plan to use a 2m later,still too much snow... Batteries!? no problem,they work just fine, just a little down on power/duration, but plenty for FAI without restriction if use of "normal-sized" batteries. My suit is filled with batteries, before and after flight`s, perfect for heating in our cold climate:). Kjell Olav |
RE: Winter greeting
In Michigan we regularily fly when the temp. is 10f. or -10c. The wind is abigger problem as the air is more dense and a little cold wind is more like a 20knot summer wind. We squirt lighter fluid into the 2 cycle engine's carb to get them started. Another limiting factor is cold thumbs. God Florida is great.:D
