Yep 🧊🧊and sun is best but low sun is a real hindrance on our patch 😫

Just 2s tiny ones for Mig 15 UMX. Difficult to find to fit space in nose 😭😭

Been indoors all night , then hot water bottle in lipo bag. Must b on way out ?? They seem to go u/s between outings 😂😂😂😂

Out in deepest Somerset at 9. Few inches ,2 , on patch so didn’t bother with the Acromaster and just flew Mig15 UMX. 2 outa 4 lipos were useless. 😭😭Sun really low and bright so turned back on it and flew across the patch. Billy no mates again. Colin

5 of us got out 9-30 to frozen 🥶 ground and full sun .Most out for ages. Had to turn back on sun and fly E -W , not the best ! Mix of planes and choppers. Colin

Somerset just fog and clag again. Humidity through the roof. You get wet standing still 😂😂😂! Whatever happened to those cold crisp sunny mornings a decade ago??

Dragon !👍

I’m in 🥰🥰Steve ! I’ll keep perusing the ads !😂😂Colin

I use a pair of Thinsulate gloves with the thumb and first finger cut off. I fly pinch so ok. Eventually tho the cold will get the end of your fingers after an hour. Time to go home then ! 😂😂Colin

SWMBO has a heated throw. Layers , blanket , hot water bottle , ch on and room temp above 70 F. Shes still 🥶🥶🥶.Im in shirtsleeves !😂😂😂Colin

Out early in deepest Somerset to find the frost still on the ground and brilliant sun. Got 3 lipos through the Acromaster by 10. Sun huge problem in left eye as so low so turned my back and flew east to west which I don’t enjoy on our patch. By 10 north wind up and fingers getting 🥶! Gonna be a long winter ! Colin

2 flights on my Sebbie Sukhoi at 9. Sun is already getting into eyes at that time. Eyes too old to cope 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😩😩😩Colin

Flew my Acromaster this morning plus UMX Mig . 2 others out including guest chopper flyer. Very little sun as promised but zero wind (fcast 8 ) so acceptable! No fog !!😂😂 . Colin

Until u get a problem. I’ve got Rx as old as in post above. Spekkie and 🍊! Range check as neccessary !

Toto - ⚰️beckons. 😂😂I’ve replaced the walls that face the rain. Few minor leaks where ground water sits all winter. Frame still original ! Can’t live long enough to replace it !😂😂😂Colin
