Welcome to the forum!
Yes, it'll be a lot colder where you are than here in Southern New Brunswick...currently it is minus 14 Celcius this morning with a stiff NW wind blowing.
I'm flying a
P4P and have been flying almost 6 years..........came up through the ranks of the P2s, P3s, and now the
P4P.
I find that once we get past November, I have to pick my times when I go flying........no fun flying when it's cold and you are freezing your fingers off.
Much nicer in the summer,right?
Still, there are nice occasions in the winter where you can get some flying in.
I'm always aware that it's colder at altitude than it is on the ground.
Meaning that if you are thinking of flying and the temperature on the ground is, say, 0 Celcius, it's colder than that 350 feet up........it could be minus 3 or 4, or colder.
Something to bear in mind.
Flights in cold weather also negatively affect the performance of your flight battery,controller battery, as well as the battery in your mobile device.
I've been flying in cold weather(minus 8 Celcius) and had my flight battery at 84% and, within several minutes, it has dropped to 63%.
That doesn't happen in warm weather operations......so, you really have to keep your eye on the status of your flight battery when flying in the cold weather.
That said, enjoy the forum and all the great information you will get and benefit from the experience of Phantom pilots out there who are ready to share things they have learned from years of flying.
