oh boy -18 windchill, LOL, try -52I flew my Shrubsmacker today, in a winter storm warning! I waited until later in the day when the wind died down a bit, not so much to make it easier to fly, but because if I flew earlier the wind chill would be -2 F or -18 for you crazy other people And I haven't gotten flying in gloves down that well yet. So I waited until the wind died down a bit and went out for a flight!
There was a pretty stiff crosswind so I had lots of fun crabbing the Shrubby. I did a few touch and goes, and without flaps I landed backwards one time, admittingly it was a kinda rough, but it was still backwards and I didn't have to go flip it over I also got a couple takeoffs where it was airborne in about 20 in. Overall flying in snow wasn't much different then flying on a regular day. As long as you have a bright orange plane and you keep your back in the wind because if not, snowflakes will fly into your eyes and try to blind you
For reasons I can't comprehend my dad didn't feel like standing out in the snow to point a camera at my plane as I was flying it, so I had him snap a few pics from the house window.
