Well, actually I prefer a warm day, wearing t-shirt and shorts, and enjoying a cold beer afterwards. But yeah, flying on a cold day beats no flying ;-)

I have updated the guide at http://www.jotto.no/heliwinter/ . I added a section about "The Ultimate Raydiowarm Solution" with HobbyKing tire warmers and more.

It's the opposite of the "too hot to fly" season in Arizona. Except that we can actually fly in the cold

+1 I agree Danny here in the northeast I shut down flying as soon as it hits 40 deg.

dannylightning · 10-09-2012, 10:48 AM

I don't like below 40 either. Sometimes 30 if i am desperate to fly. Last winter i flew till late january. I expect this year to be cold

Ah well, almost summer here.

Not that winter is too cold to fly here, it just rains a fair amount

nbells · 10-10-2012, 01:13 AM

I was out flying the other night ( early evening) .. Temp was -2 deg C ..... flipping freezing on the fingers...but not a cold as Norway !!!!!

The noise of the heli seems to carry more on a cold night .... sounds brilliant, the wife said she could hear the pitch changes from almost a mile away

I love flying in the snow, you can make some nice patterns when you crash !

andersn · 10-10-2012, 01:59 AM

If we was to fly, only when it was hot & nice weather, we wouldnt fly much..
