<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Neither does dynomite and ice

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Two guys out ice fishing and they forgot the hole
boring machine. Being construction workers they had some dyomite in the
bed of the truck so they decided to blow a hole in the ice to go
fishing. They drive out onto the ice at the location they wanted
to fish and lit up a stick and tossed it as far as he could. His
trusty dog SPOT thought ...."OH boy... lets chase the stick " so
the dog proceeded to retrieve the stick of dynomite. The guys start
yelling and screaming at the dawg thinking he might drop it. But amidst
all the yelling and confusion the poor dawg decides to hide under the F250
diesel 4x4. Seconds later.... no dawg...no truck.... only a
big ole hole in the ice to go fishing in.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I pretty much agree with Karl, Chad, &
Eric. The balsa foam airplane may change trim, depending on the linkage,
hard to tell just what will happen with the composites. Batteries are
the biggest concern. When I lived where it got cold I would test
airborne radio systems in the freezer at 0F. About 25% of the servos
simply quit working - everything else seemed OK. As the most
volatile fuel component has a flash point (makes flammable vapors) of
+50F, engine starting is a problem. As Karl mentions, lighter fluid
(couple of drops) helps. My record for cold flight is -6F, but the best
solution I've found is moving south - been in the upper 70's in Houston
all week.</FONT></DIV>

your concerns or special cares.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
