I need to readjust the thrust vectoring as it pitches up pretty drastically when I pull the power. That problem caused a drop in on my last flight causing the tire failure...

But this plane is going to be lots of fun with the vectoring and with it being a little warmer... 3 flights in 37 degree weather with a 27 degree windchill... yuck.

Great looking EDF!

37 degrees? And windchill? Not.
Wintertime is for building.

Quite a few of us rock the transmitter gloves. That makes it mostly bearable. I was also wearing long johns...

Don't go all winter without flying here. It was 68 degrees 2 weekends ago, you bet I went flying.

Yep it was 61 and sunny here last Saturday. 34 and 10" of snow this Saturday.

Around here we have to pick our days for flying. Some winters we can fly off and on all winter. Some we hardly get any flying time in.

This past weekend was snow, sleet, and quite a bit of ice, but in my area we are fortunate in that we were on the edge and did not get much at all. Many around me got hammered. DC got about a foot and some areas within about an hours drive from me got 6-8 inches.

I'm feeling it too guys. This last week we got over 14" of snow. Switched to RAIN for a couple days, and the last two days have been dense fog, currently 1/8SM visibility. After the huge drop of snow (in two days!) my flying buddy snowblowed the runway so we could go flying... then it rained, and now it's foggy.... not a good week to fly!!! Oh... I forgot. 32F and Freezing Fog. Bring on the builds!!! My coworker has some three sided views of radial otters and super otters that I'm going to photocopy for my super otter conversion. Man I just realized we are posting in the wrong thread!

Not cold but pretty chilly for down here too. Supposed to warm up a bit so it can RAIN this weekend .

Don't know why I should be concerned. Unless I can squint and tense up really hard and fart out a 2.4ghz signal it just not going to happen
