You bet it is better to fly in. I have done a few flights with temps in the upper 20's. I was just wondering if anyone else is flying in freezing weather. The last flight I made were with a surface temp of 29? but there was a warm air mass above that and when I reached 3000', I could feel the cockpit warming up. I have no heater installed yet and the hangar is simply too cold to do any work in to get it done. I will have one before next winter....of course, I said that last winter...

Our lowest temp was only -10F but still that's cold. I live about 600' high than the townies do and very close to 4SD's altitude. Yet when the sun was shining there were plenty of Spam cans flying and a few RV's and the one Diamond Aircraft that's at the field. Besides I thought cold dense air was better to fly in than that hot humid stuff you guys get. :) Fred Johnson Reno, NV _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
