Everclear on the beer, wish I'd known that the last time I went ice fishing! Great idea. The wind was freezing fingers faster than the brain could register that the fingers were frozen - all in all, a good time.

Ice fishing, yes. That's what I was doing when I discovered the "mixture": ice fishing in the U.P.

flew my snitch and pond flyer on D10-3w's, nice motor...but if you're using the apogee labeled motors you have to peel the apogee label off to fit them into the mount. also flew my upscale goblin on a G53-5(first use of my delay tool ), ah well some day everything will cooperate and we'll get a video of it .

Glad you made it out Jeff. Considering the conditions of the day, I think we had a good showing with a good number of flights. Tim just needs to put a window or two in the "heroin den" so I don't miss so many of them!

A few years ago we had a launch colder than that plus a foot of new snow on the ground.
That dogone Tim talked me into recovering his Jumanji if he flew it on a "K" motor.
I ended up walking into the cow pasture to get it back. Thankfully it did have a tracker in it so it was pretty much straight in and out.
Looks like you guys had some fun
