Flying in the cold
#1
So how are you fellow northern hemispherians flying in the cold? Ive been getting terrible flight times and sag when out flying even with warm lipos. Less than 2min with a 3in and 850mah 4s lipos, sag gets so bad crashing is unavoidable.

I tried making a thermally 'insulated' case using some aluminum sheet, electrical tape and thermal radiating tape that doesn't seem to help much. Pics are of a similar casing but for a 1500mah lipo

Can't upload pics directly on mobile so here's an imgur link

I can't answer your question, because where I live is not that cold.

You can upload photos on mobile by using desktop site from your phone.

When flying, I just put a few packs in my pockets, getting ready for the next flights Big Grin mind you it's only 5-10"C here so not that bad.
