It's beautiful, surreal, thank you for sharing!

Really nice, are you finding that your wintery days are limited with the Mini 1 due to it's lower wind resistance?

Loved it. That looks like my dream fishing dock too!

Usually my limiting factor is cold fingers. If it's too windy to fly in winter, it's also too cold for exposed fingers.

The other limitation with bright sunny days on white snow is I can't see the screen on my phone.

It was perfect flying conditions yesterday. No wind at all. Temperature hovering pleasantly right around freezing. Grey solid overcast cloud cover. The only real danger was flying too close to the snow-laden tree branches. Snow could drop suddenly from branches overhead and knock the Mini out of the sky. Or snow could slide off branches below the Mini and the branch, suddenly relieved of the heavy snow load, might whip up from below and smack the Mini out of the sky.

Luckily, none of that happened.

That was really well flown and edited, great job!

It is a dream location. We are incredibly lucky.

I'm not at all into fishing, but others have discovered that it's the ideal fishing spot. In the summer there are often boats and canoes floating right off the end of our dock with people casting fishing lures past our ears while we're just trying to enjoy the sunset and sipping wine on our dock. It's a small price to pay, and only on really busy weekends. Otherwise it's paradise.

You know I haven't even considered snow falling off a tree branch, but I also usually don't fly under the trees in such conditions anyways. But that's definitely some good foresight.

We're due for some of that cold later next week in Ottawa. This weekend though we're in for another huge dump of snow.

If it's too cold for bare hands, get some Touch Sensitive gloves and you will still have the use of the your screen, that is until it gets really cold. Many devices use Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD) and if you do not have "extreme weather" LCDs, the screen can go dead (Black) because the screen is literally FROZEN UP and if you are flying FPV, you had better hope you took the time set your RTH height correctly before you took off…
