Phil,
KOI is usually on Martin Luther King weekend, in 2015 it is Jan 17 & 18. Hopefully since it is a little later in January maybe we will get spring temps rather than winter. See you there.

Best,     DennisT

The last one I attended started out at 29*, and I drew the first flight of the day.

Hey Garf, off topic but how much difference in fuel consumption did you have in the freezing cold air, as opposed to 60s-70s?

Virtually no difference, but the engines were very hard to start.

In cold weather you need a hot battery and glow plug.   Also burp the engine before getting ready to fly.
