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.<?/smaller><?/fontfamily><BR> <BR><?fontfamily><?param Arial><?smaller>Earl<?/smaller><?/fontfamily><BR><?fontfamily><?param Arial><?x-tad-bigger>-----

I was out flying on Christmas Eve in OK and it was about 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.<?/smaller><?/color><?/fontfamily><BR> <BR><?fontfamily><?param Arial><?color><?param 0000,0000,FFFF><?smaller>I'm
