Flying in the cold

[moyesboy]

how do you keep your hands warm flying in winter?
or are you a "hard" northerner who can take it?
or are you living on the UK riviera where its warm all year?

I fly with fingerless gloves

Thinsulate ones, no idea how thick they are though

I also have some 99p pocket warmer things which are cool!

Cheers

Fingerless Thinsulate gloves as well, and a transmitter mitt, vest, padded shirt, woolly jumper, two fleeces, quality hat that covers my ears, heavy coat, two pairs of trousers, boots (cos it gets muddy) and bettery heated socks!

I fly with fingerless thinsulate gloves as well. Yet to try the hand warmers, but think they'd really help.
I also have some neoprene gloves that I'm going to cut the fingers off of. They're good if your hands get wet as they are the same material divers use, but don't know how good they are in just cold and blowy conditions.

Only wear a Leopard skin thong.

Seems to do the trick

You're moving with the fashion then - it was a tiger print one last winter!

Ha ha, I live in the English Riviera (Torquay) and it 3c today. Think it gets just as cold down here as the rest of the UK

I'm going to try some gloves soon, so this thread should be good.

Tiger print is so last year

I have some hand warmers that can be recharged by boiling in hot water. They are supposed to be good for 100 cycles or more.
Theres always the lipos...

me also Fingerless Thinsulate gloves but have had warmers in pocket so when heli doing death spiral i have a couple of secs to warm hands up

[Fixxxer]

Vario sell full gloves which are pretty thin and should give you decent control. I can't fly now until next year as the cold gets to me really quick. I've got 2 heli's to build tho which should keep me busy.

Never get cold.....detest the heat but can take very low temps.....this comes from a F@cked up metabolism so in the winter I'm laughing but in the summer I'm dead LOL
