Good old Canadian Winters
Well, only -1 and 15km winds, sounds like a flying day for us up here in Canada, I got a hold of RCpete, 747driver, Gary Arthur, Blair, Brian, Peter Ayache from Altecare RC and myself and had a great day, the odd snow squall came through but that didn't slow some of us down. This is a great start for us Canadians Turbine flying on Jan 15th....I think this will be a good year
The Multiplex foam jet is 747drivers (Marc) and is powered by a Lambert Kolibri, I'm surprised I got a picture, very fast!!

RE: Good old Canadian Winters
We were out last Sunday here on the South shores of lake Erie, not quite Canada, but within 30 miles
The temperature was 20 Deg F (-6.6 Deg C)
We had just a bit of snow...we didn't fly jets though..just a good old Sig Senior on skies.
The first photo is three out of the 5 registered Turbine Pilots in Erie County Pennsylvania

RE: Good old Canadian Winters
Looks familiar, now make sure you guys don't break any of these rules :
1- pilots that only fly or land, left hand circuits
2-pilots that only fly or land right hand circuits
3-pilots that carry on board propane
4-pilots that can't trim their own plane
5-pilots that use brakes mixed with elevator, they should learn, how to use the rest of their fingers and have a dedicated brake channel.
6- pilots should only start up their turbines in a dedicated start up area.
7- pilots that don't bring a fire extinguisher to the start up area.
Looks like fun.
