After 2 minutes, my fingers are quite stiff since I have no gloves or anything and the wind is getting nastier all the time. When going in to land, the aircraft is blown away and i have to take another try, turn around and noooo, I'm losing it in a gust. I pull it out of the snow and shake it to clear all the snow that's covering the wing and front. The speed controller is now hanging outside the body in the cables. Examination at home showed absolutely no damage except for the motor mount.
Snow is softer than most surfaces, and really nice to electric planes.
I really recommend it for beginners. I am glad these things are not happening to me. Well, it finally happened, so here is my story. I was pulling up inverted after having done a low altitude high speed pass when my trusty Enya coughed. Well, I was not quite high enough.
