<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>

22 degrees..... I spent extra time warming the YS at idle, but
thoughts were crossing my mind about how bad the cold weather is on
our equipment (nylon components etc....) . I'm sure the guys up
North have limits on cold temps and I'd be interested to hear your
concerns or special cares.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
