Ha ha we've not been able to fly since mid October thanks to wind and or rain. Today was the first day the UAV forecast said 'good to fly' the low clouds and icy winds didn't bode well, we lasted 35 minutes before the fingers gave up.

Roll on the warmer weather.

Yeah, you guys have it bad. I keep forgetting what the cold does to optics/delicate mechanics.
Can you fly at those temps at all, I mean, with all the proper in/out procedures?

Ireland does get its share of winter weather and we live in the Blackwater valley and it seems to get trapped here lol At times we are surrounded by floodwater and it's boats we need not cars.

Not really, I did when I first started but it’s so hard on your fingers, and it’s not worth taking the chance of causing damage to the drone
