Flying in the cold

[marktigere1]

Only trouble i have with tail in is trying to stay awake. I have tried coffee but i can still only manage 50 secs before i have to throw the rudder over

You see Ade, that's why only a select few on this site will ever be crowned "3D extreme tail in hover master"

No need to smuggle it, after all its made by the sme people who made the 3D master's winning machine, nobody has mentioned that one. It is also the extreme Tail in Championship of the world title holder. What more do you need to say. How dare you Mr Rob ' Dodgey Engine' GT insult this discipline.

Please stop...
I think I just damaged something in my left side

LOL

I fly with a pair of nike fingerless gloves... they are kinda like training gloves so the tranny doesnt slip out of my hands as they kinda have a leather palm. If i dont have them at hand i just use thinsulates with the fingers half cut off so you can bend them back.

I revert back to planes for a while as I dont mind flying one hand in pocket while the plane flys along nice and steady

[Biggles]

Well my flying is done for the year now!!!! I don't do cold days!!!! The evenings are too dark as well.

I can't see the fun of standing around freezing my bits off!!!

So the simulator comes into play until mar/april.

Besides xmas is coming and I get into gear really early for that one so most of my sats/suns are spent doing bits of shopping!!

I use neoprene fishermans gloves, the finger and thumb are slit and can fold back out the way with a velcro fastener. Neoprene gives good grip of the tranny too.

Got mine from Argos http://tinyurl.com/3bdko2

ah see, you are yet to master the full range of tail in extreme manouver's. there is the drifts slowly to the left / right, the up and down a bit with the wind, and don't forget the where the hell are you going, i didn't tell you to do that. when you have learnt the above, then you can join the best of the best. And you don't need a 50 for it either.

hahaha quality, best thing ive read on here for ages!

[jiberjaber]

I have some of these that I am going to try, if they are no cop I might give the fishing gloves from Argos a go..

[Jamez]

[pxr5]
