Made it to the field for the first time in 2021. Good cold but no wind at all did four flights recharged and did it again. Great day at the field. The home made skies did great. No changes required.

Nice! That's a great looking approach in the back of the photo, looks like a full scale can land there.

You are correct we have a couple of full scale planes coming in and out during the summer but nothing during the winter.

Isn't winter building season? We should have a 60 F day in March, I'll build until then.

Night time is for building. I did not realize there was a season for building LOL!!!!! Here in South Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming The Flying and building season is 365 days a year. For example, when there is snow on the ground. This is what we fly. FLOAT PLANES. Ski's are worthless in deep soft snow, IMHO. I have many planes I never take the floats off. the 1.5 Timber, the Air Tractor, The E-1500 Twin Cargo plane, the mini Turbo timber FMS Ranger, The Maule, King Fisher, Valiant, and a couple 1.2 Piper cub's

You are spoiled when comes to weather. And the rest of us that live in the north are just jealous.
