    I get to hear about everyone flying, we have a record snow year! Boo hum, in time at least some else is flying. That photo just the first day after a month of constant snow. Enjoy buddy! Matt No longer C/Sw/ MRC.

      I flew one of my L4s today, when it's below freezing I fly something without retracts.

          Hey Matt.......just keep those Erie and Ontario lake effects on your door step cause I don't need them along with the Finger Lakes smashing me.

            We're looking at a wintry mix tonight. I got a new bird in the shop to work on while it snows. While flying the T-28 yesterday, I used my Blackhawk shooting gloves as an experiment. They took some getting used to, but I can definitely use them for flying. I can feel the switches OK. Definitely warmer than bare fingers.

            TiredIronGRB....Love the big wheels on the L4.

              What a great post topic, this should be a "sticky". I could imagine dozens of posts on this topic on a Saturday in the summertime. Meanwhile, weather is bad here in sunny Norcal as well. Have flown on one weekend day in the last month :dodgy:.

                                It's a nice plane, the only bad thing about is that it didn't come from Motion RC...I got two of these before the Hobby King web site went tits up.

                                  Had an afternoon off to fly today finally. Put up my Dallas Doll for confidence and to shake some rust, the P-39, my 2nd Nemesis (Aku II), and another 2 fun runs on the Stinger 90. Thanks Doc, I needed that. Hope you guys catch a weather break this weekend.

                                    The only thing I've flown is the simulator. Chicago's artic temps and wind haven't been condusive to good flying.

                                      Didn't fly much this week. I got a bunch of flights in on Tuesday though with both p39s, my Seawind and a few FPV planes. I plan to fly again Sunday, with my new p38 addition.
