Is it time to fly yet?
....and the answer is no. Here is the weather that I'm currently dealing with. Kyle and Matthias are likely having the same. It's cold and windy. Ugh!!!

Re: Is it time to fly yet?
0 deg. F. This morning and my pipes froze, so, yea, no flight weather yet!
But I did get out and flew on Sunday! 39 deg. BUT sunny!

"No Thanks, I don't need another plane!" Said no one ever!
Re: Is it time to fly yet?
Yeah, Sunday was decent. It would have been a flyable day for me, too, but I had to work, lol.
The warmer weather has to be around here somewhere!!!

Re: Is it time to fly yet?
I'd be happy with constant 40 degree F weather and light to no wind.
...and I haven't found "that" lottery ticket either, lol.

Re: Is it time to fly yet?
I took a break through November and December. Other than that I've been flying sporadically through the winter. Not as much as I do in the summer, but maybe 10 - 20 flights each month. As long as the wind is manageable I don't mind the cold temps

Re: Is it time to fly yet?
I've been the same as long as the wind isn't bonkers then I'm out. I've been putting between 3-5 flights a week in over the winter, I can't wait for the warmer weather conditions so that I can get out more.hHoping to get 3-5 flights a day minimum during the summer.Marius wrote:I took a break through November and December.

Re: Is it time to fly yet?
Yes...if it's so cold that I can't feel my fingers within 30 seconds, I am not putting my models in the air. The warmer weather will come....it's just a matter of "when?".Tony wrote:You guys over the pond will make any excuse up... Lmao

I have a rule.
If it's cold enough to see yourself breathe it's too cold to get out of bed.

Re: Is it time to fly yet?
What if you see your own breath while in bed? Don't make any plans to see me. Not leaving the covers.
